Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 cup sour cream

Equipment

  • large pot
  • separate saucepan
  • whisk
  • wooden spoon
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • ladle

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in potatoes, chicken broth, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  4. In a separate pan, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth to make a roux-based cream sauce.
  5. Stir cream sauce into the soup pot and mix well.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream just before serving.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese, bacon bits, or green onions if desired.

Notes

For extra cheesiness, stir in more shredded cheddar at the end. Top with crispy bacon, pickles, or even sesame seeds for a fun burger-inspired garnish. Leftovers thicken as they cool — add a splash of broth or milk when reheating.
