Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- ½ pound lean ground beef
- ¾ cup chopped onion
- ¾ cup shredded carrots
- ¾ cup chopped celery
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 4 cups cubed potatoes
- 3 cups chicken broth
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup cooked bacon, cubed
- 2-4 tablespoons Hunter & Holden’s Cheddar Spread
Directions:
-
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef, cubed bacon, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook and stir until the beef is browned and crumbly, usually around 5 to 7 minutes.
-
Stir in dried basil and parsley. Add potatoes and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, typically around 10 to 12 minutes.
-
In a separate small saucepan, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until smooth, approximately 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, simmering and stirring until the sauce is thick and smooth.
-
Stir the sauce into the soup mixture, ensuring to stir constantly. Bring the soup to a boil again, then reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Hunter & Holden’s Cheddar Spread until melted, creating a creamy and smooth texture. Let it simmer until heated through.
