Equipment

6-quart Enameled Dutch Oven

Ingredients

1 pounds ground beef
4 tablespoons butter (divided 1 tbsp & 3 tbsp)
¾ cup yellow onion (diced)
¾ cup carrots (shredded)
¾ cup celery (diced)
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds petite red potatoes (quartered)
4 cups chicken broth
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
⅓ cup sour cream

Instructions

Over medium-high heat in a large stock pot. Add ground beef, cook and crumble until browned. Drain and set aside.
In the same pot, add 1 tbsp of butter and onions, carrots, celery, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Saute until vegetables are tender.
Add beef, potatoes, and chicken broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add 3 tbsp butter and flour; cook and stir for 3-5 minutes or until bubbly. Add to the soup and turn the heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
Stir in cheese and milk; cook until cheese melts. Turn off the heat and stir in sour cream.
Garnish with green onions, and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to drain the cooked beef well to keep the soup rich without being greasy.
Melt the cheese slowly over low heat to ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
Stir the roux in gradually to prevent lumps from forming.
Always taste the soup at the end and adjust the seasoning as needed for the best flavor.
