Cheeseburger Soup

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup shredded carrots
3/4 cup diced celery
3 T. butter or oil
3 cup chicken broth
4 cups diced potatoes
1/4 cup flour
8 oz. Valveeta cheese ( I think I will be using a higher quality real cheese)
1 and 1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. basil
1/4 cup sour cream
salt and pepper ( I will be adding many more spices to this )

In a stock pot, brown beef, drain, rinse with hot water, and set aside. Saute onion, carrots, celery and basil in same pan about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and add broth, potatoes and beef. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add cheese, milk, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until cheese melts. Remove from heat and blend in sour cream. Serve
I have not tried this recipe before but it is on my menu this week.
