Cheeseburger Soup
A hearty, creamy soup with ground beef, potatoes and melted cheddar - a cheeseburger in a bowl.
Ingredients
| 1 тарелка/plate | ground beef |
| 1 | tomato, cut concasse |
| 1 глава/head | shallot |
| 1 | small carrot |
| 3-4 скилидки/cloves | garlic |
| 1 малка кофичка/small tub | sour cream |
| 2 чаши/cups | milk |
| 1 кубче/cube | beef stock cube |
| поне 3 кутии/boxes | processed cheddar cheese |
| 1 стъбло/stalk | celery |
| 1 ч.л./tsp | pesto |
| — | dried parsley |
| 2 | medium potatoes |
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook and crumble the beef until no longer pink; drain and set aside.
- In the same saucepan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Sauté the onion, carrots, celery, basil and parsley until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and tomatoes, stir for a few minutes, then return the ground beef and add the broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender, 10-12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add flour and cook, stirring, until bubbly, 3-5 minutes. Add to the soup, bring to a boil, then cook and stir for 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cheese, milk, salt and pepper; cook until the cheese melts.
- Remove from the heat and blend in the sour cream (take it off the heat before adding the sour cream so the soup does not curdle). Serve.
