Ingredients
8 ounces ground beef
¾ cup chopped onion
¾ cup shredded carrots
¾ cup diced celery
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 ¾ pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 4 cups)
3 cups chicken broth
4 tablespoons butter, divided
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 to 4 cups cubed processed cheese (such as Velveeta)
1 ½ cups whole milk
¼ cup sour cream
¾ teaspoon salt
¼–½ teaspoon ground black pepper
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 butter. Add onion, carrots, celery, dried basil, and dried parsley. Sauté for about 10 minutes, until tender.
Add potatoes, cooked beef, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 10–12 minutes until potatoes are tender.
In a separate skillet, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Whisk in the flour and cook 3–5 minutes until bubbly and pale golden.
Add the roux to the simmering soup. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cubed processed cheese until melted. Add milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Heat through without boiling.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot.
Notes
Do not boil the soup after adding cheese or dairy to maintain a smooth, creamy texture.
Add extra cheese for a thicker, richer soup.
Garnish with bacon bits, chives, or shredded cheese for added flavor.
