This Cheeseburger Soup is one of my ultimate comfort foods! A lot of things are happening in each spoonful of this amazing soup. The combination of ground beef, potatoes, cheese, and a lot more is surely a must-try!
Ingredients:
4 tbsp butter, divided
1-3/4 lbs. (about 4 c) cubed peeled potatoes
3/4 c chopped onion
1/4 c all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
2 to 4 c shredded Velveeta
3/4 c diced celery
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/4 to 1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried basil
3 c chicken broth
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
3/4 c shredded carrots
1/4 c sour cream
1-1/2 c whole milk
Directions:
Place a pot on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add the ground beef, then cook for a few minutes until crumbly and brown. Transfer onto a clean plate.
Add 1 tbsp of butter to the same pot and allow it to melt. Add celery, carrots, parsley, basil, and onion. Sauté for a few minutes until soft.
Add the broth and potatoes, then stir until well incorporated.
Put the ground beef back into the pot, then cook for 12 more minutes.
Place a skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add the rest of the butter and allow it to melt.
Add the flour, then whisk and cook for about a minute until it turns into a roux.
Transfer the flour mixture into the pot with the soup, then stir everything until well incorporated. Simmer for additional 2 minutes.
Turn the heat down to low, then add cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended. Simmer for a few minutes until the cheese has melted.
Remove the pot from the heat, then stir in the sour cream.
Serve right away. Enjoy!
