Cheeseburger Soup


Snow again...despite warmer than normal temperatures I was kind of hoping for Spring even though it's a little early to have those kind of thoughts except in the Gardening area on Pinterest. Oh well...I'll cuddle up with a bowl of hot soup.



Cheeseburger Soup

1 pound extra lean ground beef
1/4 cup onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup carrots, peeled and small diced
2 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and small diced
1 tbsp celery flakes
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tbsp butter
1/3 cup flour
8 oz Colby cheese, grated
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Lightly brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Make sure as much grease as possible is drained off. In a large pot or crock pot, melt butter and stir in flour to make a paste. Gradually mix in chicken broth and milk. Add in ground beef, carrots, potatoes and celery flakes. Cook until the vegetables are soft and then add in the cream and shredded cheese. Taste and add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
