Cheeseburger Soup
Adapted from: www.thatsmyhome.com/soupkitchen/cbsoup.htm
I have read about this soup somewhere along my recipe board travels and knew I had to make it! I ended up googling it and found a recipe from the Soup Kitchen on That's My Home website and I used it as my guideline making mine!
This soup is delicious! My kids said it taste like a cheeseburger without the bun and I half agree with them! Once everything is added to the soup it thickens up more like a chili and is very filling! Comfort food I would say! A note from the website said, In this soup you want to use a processed cheese, It melts better and will result in a smoother and creamier soup and they are right as I used Velvetta as well! I would have to say that this soup is a jazzed up potato soup! This is my version of the soup and you can find the original recipe on the link I provided!
1½ pounds ground beef
1 Cup chopped onion
1 Cup shredded carrots
1 Cup diced celery
3 Tablespoons butter
3 Cups chicken broth
4 Cups diced potatoes
1/4 Cup flour
8 ounces Velvetta cheese, cubed
2 Cups half & half cream
3/4 Cup sour cream
garlic salt, pepper & Lawry's Seasoned Salt to taste
In a 5 quart pot, brown beef, drain and set aside. Melt butter and saute onion, carrots and celery in same pan about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and mix with vegetables then add broth, potatoes and beef. Mix well.
Cover, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Add cheese, milk, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until cheese melts.
Remove from heat and blend in sour cream.
Serve.
