List of Ingredients



• 1/2 to 1 pound of ground beef (depending on how filling you want it to be)
  
• 1 onion, diced
  
• 2 carrots, diced
  
• 2 stalks celery, diced
  
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 8 ounces mushrooms, cleaned and sliced (optional)
  
• 3 to 4 cups chicken or beef broth
  
• 2 to 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
  
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
  
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  
• salt and pepper, to taste
  
• 2 tablespoons butter
  
• 1/4 cup flour
  
• 1 1/2 cups milk
  
• 8 ounces american cheese, cubed
  
• 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  






Instructions



1. Brown the ground beef. Add the onion and cook until soft. Drain any fat off. Add the carrots, celery, and garlic and cook about 5 to 10 minutes, then add the broth, potatoes, and seasonings. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook 20 minutes or so. Timing's not essential as long as the vegetables are cooked.
   
2. Make a white sauce. Melt the butter, slowly add the flour, stirring constantly and cook 2 minutes over medium low heat. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly. Turn the heat up and simmer a few minutes until thick. Stir into the soup. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Just before serving, stir in the sour cream if using.
