Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
4 Tbsp. butter, divided
1 small yellow onion, chopped
3/4 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup carrots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups milk
4 cups Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
8 oz. Velveeta cheese, cubed
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. yellow mustard
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
shredded cheese, chopped pickles and tomatoes, for garnish, if desired

Instructions

In a large Dutch oven, melt one tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Remove beef from the pot to a plate with a slotted spoon. Drain the pot and then melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery and carrots to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes until softened, stirring often. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute stirring often. Add the broth, milk and potatoes and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cook partially covered, stirring occasionally for 12-15 minutes until potatoes are tender. Add the cubed cheese, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, pepper and ground beef. Cook until cheese is totally melted, stirring often. Spoon into bowls and garnish with shredded cheese, chopped pickles and tomatoes. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

I used Velveeta cheese for this recipe, but you could use cheddar, colby or monterey jack cheese.

I love to top our soup with some shredded cheese, chopped pickles and chopped tomatoes. I also like to serve our soup with some french fries for dipping.
