Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
3 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup carrots, diced
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Cook the beef – In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables – In the same pot, melt the butter and add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and broth – Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Thicken the soup – In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth. Slowly stir it into the soup, allowing it to thicken. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Add cheese and seasonings – Stir in the cheddar cheese, cooked beef, garlic powder, salt, pepper, basil, and parsley. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
- Serve and enjoy – Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm with crusty bread or garnishes like crispy bacon or green onions.
