One of hubby's favorite soups and great with crusty Italian or French bread.
Cheeseburger Soup
1/2 pound ground beef
3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup shredded carrots
3/4 cup diced celery
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley
4 TBS butter, divided
3 cups chicken broth
4 cups potatoes, diced
1/4 cup flour
8 ounces Velveeta, cubed
1-1/2 cups milk
3/4 tsp salt
1/3 tsp pepper
1/4 cup sour cream
In a 3 quart saucepan, brown the beef; drain and set aside. In the same pan, melt 1 TBS of the butter and saute the onions, carrots, celery, basil and parsley until tender. Add broth, potatoes and browned beef. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt remaining butter. Add flour; cook and stir continually for about 3-5 minutes or until browned and bubbly. Add to soup and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for another 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add the cheese, milk, salt and pepper. Simmer and stir until the cheese melts. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
