Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ sweet onion diced
½ cup thinly sliced carrots
2-3 russet potatoes, peeled and diced about 3 cups
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1-1 ½ cups milk any kind (I used 2%)
½ cup sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Toppings: chopped bacon, tomatoes, green onions, shredded cheese

Instructions

In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, brown and crumble ground beef until no longer pink. Drain and remove beef to a separate plate. Set aside.
Wipe pot, if needed. Melt butter in pot over medium heat and then add onions and carrots. Sauté until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
To the pot, add potatoes, chicken broth, basil, oregano, paprika, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir and bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Add ground beef, milk (start with one cup and add more, if needed), and sour cream. Stir and adjust seasonings, if needed. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted.
Garnish with additional toppings before serving, if desired.
