1 cup Chicken Broth

1 cup Heavy Cream

Salt and Pepper

1 tsp Smoked Paprika

1 tsp Dried Thyme

Directions

Brown the beef in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.

Melt butter in the same pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the potatoes, corn, broth, and browned beef to the pot. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme.

Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives.
