All American Cheeseburger Soup

Step 1: In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook and crumble beef until no longer pink (don't crumble to separate each piece of beef, but leave it chunky, here and there); 6 - 8 minutes; drain and set aside. In same saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrots, celery, basil and parsley until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 2: Add potatoes, ground beef and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, 10 - 12 minutes.

Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt remaining butter. Add flour; cook and stir until bubbly, 3 - 5 minutes. Add to soup; bring to a boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cheese, milk, salt and pepper; cook until cheese melts.
