CHEESEBURGER SOUP
https://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
Cook: 10 minutes.
YIELD: 8 servings
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
· 1-1/2 cups whole milk
· 3/4 teaspoon salt
· 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper
· 1/4 cup sour cream
· 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).
Save on prep time by using frozen cubed hash brown potatoes in place of fresh.
To prevent soup from curdling, remove from the heat before adding sour cream.
Go all out! Serve in bread bowls with condiment skewers: Try cocktail onions and mini pickles.
