Cheeseburger Soup
Description
Cheeseburger Soup features browned ground beef cooked with finely diced onions, carrots, basil, and parsley, forming a flavorful base. Potatoes are simmered in chicken broth alongside the beef until tender. A roux is prepared with butter, flour, and milk, which is then incorporated to thicken the soup. Velveeta cheese melts into the mixture, contributing a smooth, creamy texture and mild cheese flavor. The soup is finished with a touch of salt, pepper, and sour cream stirred in just before serving. The result is a rich, creamy soup reminiscent of cheeseburger flavors but in a warm, spoonable form, suitable for a filling lunch or dinner.
