Cooking Instructions
Browning the Beef and Sautéing Aromatics
Building the Creamy Base
- Now it’s time to create a rich roux that will thicken our soup. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the softened vegetables in the pot. Stir it in well, coating the vegetables and cooking the flour for about 1-2 minutes. This step is crucial for cooking out that raw flour taste and ensuring a smooth, lump-free soup.
- Gradually whisk in the 3 cups of chicken broth. Start with a small amount and whisk it into the flour and vegetable mixture until it forms a smooth paste, then continue adding the broth, whisking constantly, until it’s all incorporated. Bring this mixture to a simmer, stirring often, until it starts to thicken slightly. This usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Add your 4 cups of peeled and diced potatoes to the simmering broth. Stir in the reserved browned ground beef, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley flakes, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Give everything a good stir to combine. Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom.
- Once the potatoes are tender, it’s time for the cheesy goodness! Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pot. Stir until melted. Then, add the 2 cups of Velveeta processed cheese, cubed (or your shredded cheddar cheese). Stir gently until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is wonderfully creamy and smooth. If using cheddar, you might need to stir a little longer to ensure it melts thoroughly.
- Finally, stir in the 1 1/2 cups of milk and 1/4 cup of sour cream. Heat the soup through gently, but do not boil it after adding the milk and sour cream, as this can cause it to curdle. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You might find you want a little more salt or pepper depending on your preference.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make this soup ahead of time?
Absolutely! This Cheesy Beef Beef Beef Beef Hamburger Potato Soup is actually even better the next day as the flavors have more time to meld together. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You might need to add a splash of broth or milk if it has thickened too much.
What kind of potatoes work best for this soup?
I recommend using starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds. These varieties break down slightly as they cook, helping to thicken the soup naturally and giving it a wonderfully creamy texture. Waxy potatoes can also be used, but they will hold their shape more and won’t contribute as much to the soup’s body.
