Soup's On!

It's been a while since I shared a tasty new recipe with you.
So here you go!! This one was a huge hit at our house.
Everyone loved it - especially Flynn!!

Cheeseburger Chowder

1 Tablespoon Butter
¾ cups Diced Onion -- (I of course left these out)
¾ cups Carrots, Peeled And Diced
¾ cups Celery, Diced
¾ pounds Ground Beef
4 cups Cubed Potatoes
1 can Corn
½ teaspoons Dried Crushed Basil
1 teaspoon Parsley, Dried
4 cups Beef Broth
3 Tablespoons Butter
¼ cups All-purpose Flour
1-½ cup Milk
2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
½ teaspoons Salt
½ teaspoons Black Pepper
¼ cups Sour Cream

Preparation Instructions

In a stockpot, saute the onions, carrots and celery in 1 tablespoon of butter for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, fry ground beef in a skillet until no longer pink.
To the stockpot, add the cooked ground beef, potatoes, basil, parsley and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.

Ten minutes before the soup is cooked, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan. Add the flour to the melted butter and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the milk to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Add the salt and pepper to the cheese sauce. Stir the cheese sauce mixture into the cooked soup. Remove from heat and add in the sour cream.

I served it topped with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
Highly recommended :)
