Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • ½ cup chopped carrots
  • ½ cup chopped celery
  • 2 large russet potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1¾ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1½ cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar
  • To serve: sour cream and chives

Instructions
 

  • Place ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, breaking into pieces, until browned and cooked through. Drain.
  • Place beef in a crockpot along with the onion, carrots, celery, potatoes, basil, parsley, salt, and broth. Cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours.
  • Whisk together the flour and milk. Add to the crockpot, along with the butter and shredded cheese. Cook for an additional 1 hour on high.
  • Transfer soup to bowls and garnish with sour cream and chives.

Notes

You can use 80%, 85%, or 90% lean beef for this recipe. 
I highly recommend shredding the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese contains potato starch, which can prevent it from melting nicely into the soup.
