Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional, for added texture and color)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and set the beef aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add Potatoes and Broth: Stir in the potatoes, garlic powder, and dried basil. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk the flour with the milk until smooth. Pour this mixture into the soup pot, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
- Add Cheese and Beef: Once the soup begins to thicken, add the cooked ground beef back to the pot. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
- Finish with Sour Cream and Peas: Stir in the sour cream for extra creaminess, and add frozen peas if desired. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with crackers or bread.
