CWFFarm Creamy Potato & Hamburger Soup Recipe
This recipe is comfort food at its most delicious! Hamburger, potatoes & vegetables all combine to make one great soup.
Ingredients
- 1 pounds Carousel Watergardens Farm lean ground beef
- 1 medium CWFFArm white onion peeled and diced ( I like to use our sweet onions)
- 1 large garlic clove minced
- 6 cups of chicken broth
- 6 cups of peeled & diced CWFFarm Russet or red potatoes
- 1 CWFFarm carrot diced
- 1 can of corn drained or 2 cups of your favorite frozen vegetable mix
- 1 can of tender young sweet peas drained
- 3 teaspoons dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed
Instructions
- In a large skillet, fry the ground beef and onions until the onions are soft and the ground beef browned. Drain the grease.
- Fry the garlic until browned and fragrant. Add the beef mixture to the crockpot or stockpot on the stove.
- Add in the potatoes, broth, vegetables, basil and parsley.
- Cook in the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours, on high for 3-4, or simmer on the stove until the potatoes are tender and starting to dissolve slightly.
- Whisk the cornstarch into the milk, then whisk into the soup. Add the Velveeta and let it melt, stirring occasionally. When it’s melted in completely, spoon into bowls and serve.
Recipe Notes
You can add more broth if you like a thinner soup, or even 1/2 cup of sour cream at the end to add some tang.
