Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb. ground beef  
• 3/4 c. onion, chopped  
• 3/4 c. carrot, shredded  
• 3/4 c. celery, diced  
• 1 tsp. dried basil  
• 1 tsp. dried parsley flakes  
• 4 T. butter or margarine  
• 3 c. chicken broth  
• 4 c. potatoes, peeled and diced  
• 1/4 c. flour  
• 2 c. (8 oz.) american cheese, cubed  
• 1 1/2 c. milk  
• 3/4 tsp. salt  
• 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. pepper  
• 1/4 c. sour cream

Method

In a 3 quart saucepan, brown beef, drain & set aside. In the same saucepan, saute onion, carrot, celery, basil and parsley in 1 T butter until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add broth, potatoes, and beef; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 - 12 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Meanwhile in a small skillet, melt remaining butter. Add flour; cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until bubbly. Add to soup; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add cheese, milk, salt and pepper; cook and stir until cheese melts. Remove from heat; blend in sour cream.

Notes: I substitute Italian seasoning for the basil & parsley flakes - works well. I also vary the cheese used - cut back on American and add other types for a change of taste.
