I swear that most of my soup concoctions are because I have a stuff in my freezer, fridge and pantry that I have to use up. I was desperately trying to use up potatoes before we went to the States for Christmas, I had some ground beef in my freezer and always those frozen veggies.Well, voila. This creamy potato & hamburger soup was the result of my cleaning out my freezer and pantry. Making hamburger soup is simple.<\/p>\n
First, you fry up the ground beef mixture until cooked then place into a crock pot or slow cooker.<\/p>\n
Second, you add in all the vegetables and spices ( NOT the milk products!) and cook for hours in the slow cooker, breaking down the ground beef into softer meat and the potatoes into smooth velvety goodness.<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 pounds lean ground beef<\/p>\n
1 medium white onion peeled and diced<\/p>\n
1 large garlic clove minced<\/p>\n
6 cups of chicken broth<\/p>\n
6 cups of peeled & diced Russet potatoes<\/p>\n
2 cups of your favourite frozen vegetable mix<\/p>\n
3 teaspoons dried basil<\/p>\n
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 cups milk<\/p>\n
2 tablespoons cornstarch<\/p>\n
8 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed<\/p>\n
In a large skillet ,fry the ground beef and onions until the onions are soft and the ground beef browned. Drain the grease.<\/p>\n
Fry the garlic until browned and fragrant. Add the beef mixture to the crockpot or stockpot on the stove.<\/p>\n
Add in the potatoes, broth, vegetables, basil and parsley.<\/p>\n
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 sightly.<\/p>\n
Whisk the cornstarch into the milk, then whisk into the soup. Add the Velveeta and let it melt, stirring occasionally. When it\u2019s melted in completely, spoon into bowls and serve.<\/p>\n
