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

1. Cook the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and set the beef aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with crackers or bread.
