Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, extra shredded cheese

Instructions

1. Cook the Beef and Vegetables:

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
  2. In the same pot, sauté the diced onion and garlic until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

2. Add the Potatoes and Broth:

  1. Add the diced potatoes, shredded carrots, basil, parsley, and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

3. Make the Roux:

  1. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.

4. Combine and Add Cheese:

  1. Add the roux to the pot with the soup, stirring well to combine.
  2. Stir in the cooked ground beef and shredded cheese until melted and smooth.
  3. Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Serve:

  1. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon, green onions, or extra cheese, if desired. Serve with crusty bread or crackers.

Notes

  • Make It Healthier: Use ground turkey instead of beef, low-fat cheese, and milk to lighten the soup.
  • Thicker Soup: Add more flour to the roux or blend a portion of the soup with an immersion blender for a creamier texture.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
