Cheeseburger Soup 

http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cheeseburger-soup

A local restaurant serves a similar soup but wouldn't share its recipe with me. So I developed my own, modifying a recipe for potato soup. I was really pleased at the way this all-American soup turned out. —Joanie Shawhan, Madison, Wisconsin

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 45 minutes.

Cook: 10 minutes.

Ingredients

·                                 1/2 pound ground beef

·                                 4 tablespoons butter, divided

·                                 3/4 cup chopped onion

·                                 3/4 cup shredded carrots

·                                 3/4 cup diced celery

·                                 1 teaspoon dried basil

·                                 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

·                                 1-3/4 pounds (about 4 cups) cubed peeled potatoes

·                                 3 cups chicken broth

·                                 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

·                                 1 package (16 ounces) Velveeta process cheese, cubed (Guy recommends shredding a block of mild cheddar cheese.  He NEVER uses pre-shredded cheese)

·                                 1-1/2 cups milk

·                                 3/4 teaspoon salt

·                                 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper

·                                 1/4 cup sour cream

Directions

·                                 1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook and crumble beef until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In same saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrots, celery, basil and parsley until tender, about 10 minutes. Add potatoes, beef and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, 10-12 minutes.

·                                 2. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt remaining butter. Add flour; cook and stir until bubbly, 3-5 minutes. Add to soup; bring to a boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cheese, milk, salt and pepper; cook until cheese melts. Remove from heat; blend in sour cream. Yield: 8 servings (2-1/4 quarts).
