Instructions

In a large pot, cook ground beef until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, melt butter. Add onion, carrots, and celery; sauté until softened.
Stir in potatoes and broth. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Whisk flour into milk, then slowly add to the pot. Cook until slightly thickened.
Stir in cooked beef, cheese, and sour cream. Simmer until cheese melts and soup is creamy.

Notes

Use ground turkey for a lighter version.

For extra cheesiness, top with shredded cheese before serving.
