How to make Cheeseburger Soup from Taste of Home
Step 1: Cook the beef in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until no longer pink. When done, drain the excess grease and set it aside.
Step 2: Add another tbsp butter in the same saucepan. Place the onion, carrots, celery, basil, and parsley and saute for about 10 minutes or until the veggies are tender. Add the garlic and continue to cook for a minute more until aromatic.
Step 3: Pour in the broth, then add the potatoes and beef. Bring the mixture to a boil, then decrease the heat. Put the lid on and simmer for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
Step 4: In the meantime, melt the rest of the butter in a small skillet. Add the flour once the butter has melted and whisk for about 3 to 5 minutes or until bubbly. Pour this into the soup and continue cooking for additional 2 minutes, stirring.
Step 5: Adjust the heat to low, then add the cheese and milk to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook further until the cheese has melted.
Step 6: Take off the heat when done and stir in the sour cream.
