Creating Potato & Hamburger Soup can be simple if you follow these steps:

1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Potatoes and Broth: Stir in diced potatoes, beef broth, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
4. Simmer: Reduce heat and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
5. Stir in Milk: Once the potatoes are cooked, add milk to the pot. Stir well and heat through for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
7. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

These steps will guide you through creating a delicious Potato & Hamburger Soup that will warm your heart and nourish your body.
