Cheeseburger Soup image

Soup is such a comfort food for me and I especially love a good meat and potatoe soup and this is a really good one for those times. Served with a good crusty bread, makes it a satisfying meal.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb extra-lean ground beef
2 tsp olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 c diced celery
1/2 c diced sweet red bell pepper
1/2 c julienne sliced carrots
4 c medium yellow or red potatoes, peeled or cubed
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp dried leaf basil
1 qt chicken broth
4 Tbsp butter
1/3 c flour
2 c half-and-half or milk
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded or cut in cubes
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Brown ground beef, onion, and celery in a large saucepan or stockpot; add a little olive oil if necessary.
  • 2. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 1 minute longer. Add the chicken broth, carrots, potatoes, parsley, and basil. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  • 3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium low heat; stir in flour until smooth, about 30 seconds. Slowly stir in the half-and-half or milk. Stir in cheese. Continue cooking, stirring, until cheese is melted and the mixture is thick and begins to bubble. Stir the milk mixture into the soup mixture until well blended. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Heat thoroughly.
