Several of my friends asked me for this the other day, so I decided to share it with everyone. I actually got the recipe from my former fiance's mom, so I can't take full credit. Feel free to substitute where you see fit. I did - this is the exact recipe of what I used to make it a little healthier. Next time I will probably use ground turkey breast instead of the 93% lean ground beef. I also cut down on the salt & pepper (original recipe is 1/2 tsp pepper & 3/4 tsp salt). And I used the Brummel & Brown as opposed to the butter. Also original recipe is 3/4 c chopped onion. I cut it down because CJ hates onions! :laugh:

Cheeseburger Soup:

1 lb ground beef 93%lean
1/2 c chopped onion
3/4 c shredded carrots
1 c diced celery
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
4.5 T Brummel & Brown yogurt spread (divided)
3 c. Chicken Stock
4 c diced peeled potatoes
1/4 c all purpose flour
8 oz Mild cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c skim milk
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 c. light sour cream

In large pot brown beef; drain & set beef aside. In same pan saute onion, carrots, celery, basil, & parsley in 1-1/2 T butter until tender; about 10 minutes. Add chicken stock, potatoes, & beef; bring to boil.

Reduce heat; cover & simmer 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Meanwhile in small skillet, melt remaining butter. Add flour, cook & stir 3-5 minutes or until bubbly. Add to soup; bring to boil. Cook & stir 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add cheese, milk, salt & pepper; cook & stir until cheese melts. Remove from heat; blend in sour cream.

    I had a recipe for a soup exactly like this but instead of using real cheese and sour cream it used Velvetta cheese. I experimented with real cheese a few times myself...this is exactly what I needed! Glad to find a healthier version for delicious cheeseburger soup!
