Cheeseburger Soup

Adapted from Taste of Home

Ingredients
  

  • 4 small potatoes peeled and diced (about 4 cups)
  • 1 c shredded or diced carrots
  • 1 small white or yellow onion chopped
  • 3/4 c diced celery
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley flakes
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 c all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk whole or 2%
  • 1 package 16 ounces Velveeta processed cheese, cubed (I use MUCH LESS, more like 8 oz) OR 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 - 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 sour cream optional

Instructions
 

  • Place potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, dried basil and parsley in a large crock pot. Pour chicken broth over vegetables. Cover with lid. Cook on low heat 4 - 5 hours or until potatoes are tender.
  • About 45 minutes before serving, cook and crumble ground beef in a skillet over med-high heat. Drain fat. Pour cooked beef into crock pot. Wipe out hot skillet with a paper towel then add the butter. When the butter is melted whisk in flour and cook until golden brown and bubbly (about one minute). Whisk in the milk, salt and pepper and pour mixture into the crock pot and stir to combine.
  • Add the cubed Velveeta or shredded cheese to crock pot and stir again. Cover and cook another 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.
