How to Make Spicy Cheeseburger Soup
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease and set aside.
- In the same saucepan, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped celery, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley in 2 tablespoons butter until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add 6 cups beef broth, 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (or 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes for a milder version), 2 cups cubed potatoes, and the cooked beef.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 3-5 minutes, or until bubbly (this is your roux).
- Gradually whisk the roux into the soup.
- Bring the soup back to a gentle boil, then cook and stir for 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cook and stir until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream. Serve hot.
