Instructions
Add ground beef to a dutch oven or large soup pot, brown meat over medium heat until no longer pink, drain excess grease if needed. Remove the meat and set aside.
Add the veggies to the dutch oven with the 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté for about 5 minutes. Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Stir in the seasonings.
Add the chicken broth and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the veggies are soft and fork tender.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat up the butter over medium low heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute to make a roux.
Slowly stir in the milk a little at a time, whisking smooth after each addition. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Stir the cheese sauce into the soup mixture until well combined.
Add additional salt & pepper to taste. Serve & enjoy!
Notes
You may substitute the Yukon for russet potatoes or red potatoes if desired. I prefer the Yukon Gold variety because they give a nice creamy texture to every dish!
