Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Small skillet

Ingredients

Meat

  • 1/2 pound ground beef

Dairy

  • 4 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1 package (16 ounces) Velveeta cheese cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk

Vegetables

  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 3/4 cup diced celery
  • 1 3/4 pounds cubed peeled potatoes about 4 cups
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Condiments

  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
  • In the same saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Sauté the onion, carrots, celery, basil, and parsley until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes, cooked beef, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add the flour and cook, stirring continuously, until bubbly (3-5 minutes).
  • Add the flour mixture to the soup and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cubed Velveeta cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Cook until the cheese melts and blends smoothly.
  • Remove from heat and blend in the sour cream.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For a thicker soup, you can add more flour to the cheese sauce mixture.
