Yesterday my 14 year old son, took to heart my comment from Facebook's 25 random thoughts - I posted that I really don't like it when I cook a meal, and people come to the table and complain about how awful the food is before they even taste it. He came to me after supper (which was not one of his favorite meals) and said that he'd found a recipe he thinks he would like, would I make it. It was for Cheeseburger Soup (from Splendid Soups and Spectacular Sides). SO...I honored his request and made it last night. It is a really interesting soup - I am not sure it really tastes like a cheeseburger - or maybe I'm confused because the texture is soup and the taste is cheeseburger. I share the recipe here for your enjoyment. If you end up preparing it, let me know how your family likes it.
Brown in 1 tbsp oil: 1 lb. ground beef.
Add: 1 cup onion, diced
3/4 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup carrot, diced
1 tsp. garlic, minced
Stir in: 3 cups chicken broth
2 cups russet potatoes peeled, diced
1 tsp. dried basil
Melt, whisk and then add to soup:
3 tbsp. unsalted butter
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
Add: 2 cups Cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp. prepared mustard
Serive with shoestring fries (very crispy with salt).
