Easy Cheeseburger Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter, divided
• 0.5 pound ground beef
• 0.75 cup chopped onion
• 0.75 cup shredded carrots
• 0.75 cup chopped celery
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 4 cups cubed potatoes
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 2 cups cubed Cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Stir in the basil and parsley. Add the potatoes and broth, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
3. In a separate small saucepan, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, then simmer and stir until the sauce is thick and smooth.
4. Stir the sauce into the soup while stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheese until it is completely melted. Add the sour cream and stir until just heated through.
5. Serve hot and garnish with sliced green onions. Enjoy this delicious and comforting soup!
