Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp rosemary
- 1 tsp thyme
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 4 cups diced potatoes
- 1/4 cup flour
- 16 oz shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 4 oz cream cheese
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
- In the same pot, melt the butter. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Sprinkle in the dried basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables in the seasonings.
- Add the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw taste, stirring constantly.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring. Add the diced potatoes and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 12–15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Return the browned beef to the pot and stir to combine.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the milk and cream cheese until fully melted and smooth.
- Gradually add the shredded cheddar, stirring constantly to help it melt smoothly. Do not let the soup boil during this step.
- Add more salt or pepper if needed. Serve warm with crusty bread or rolls.
