Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot, melt 1 tablespoon butter or margarine over medium heat: cook and stir vegetables and beef, until meat is brown.

Stir in basil and parsley and celery salt.

Add broth and potatoes.

Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.

Melt the remainder of butter and stir in flour.

Add the milk, stirring until smooth.

Gradually add milk mixture to the soup, stirring constantly.
