Rating: 5 stars Difficulty of Recipe: 3 stars Things that I changed: I added 16 onces of Velveeta cheese. Since it makes such a big batch it was the perfect amount of cheeseiness. I also added about 1 pound of ground beef.
Ingredients: 1/2 pound ground beef (use 1 pound) 3/4 cup chopped onion 3/4 cup shredded carrots 3/4 cup diced celery 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 4 tablespoons butter, divided 3 cups chicken broth 4 cups peeled and diced potatoes 1/4 cup all purpose flour 2 cups of Velveeta processed cheese cubed (I used 16 ounce) 1 1/2 cups milk 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup sour cream 1. Brown the ground beef in 3 quart saucepan. Drain and set aside.
2. In the same saucepan add 1 T butter and add onion, shredded carrots, parsley flakes, basil and celery. Saute until tender.
3. Add the broth, potatoes and beef and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
4. In small skillet melt remaining butter (3 T) and add the flour. Cook and stir for 3-5 minutes or until bubbly. Add to the soup and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
