RICH CHEESY SOUP

Ingredients

• 1.5 TBSP butter
• 1 finely chopped Sweet Vidalia Onion
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 Pack of meatloaf seasoning
• 1 32 oz box of chicken broth
• 1 lb slab of 2% Velveeta cheese
• 1 pint half and half
• 1.5 TBSP water
• 1 TBSP all purpose flour

Preparation

Step 1

Melt 1.5 TBSP butter in a large pot


-After butter melts add 1 finely chopped Sweet Vidalia Onion to the
pot (I don’t like strong onion flavor so I only used half an onion
but I could barely taste it)

-While onions are cooking mix 1 lb ground beef with a package of
hamburger seasoning and brown the meat in a frying pan.I used
meatloaf seasoning


- Pour 1 32 oz box of chicken broth to the pot and stir.

- Slice a 1 lb slab of 2% Velveeta cheese into several pieces, add
it to the pot, and stir to prevent the cheese from sticking to the
bottom and burning.

-Pour in 1 pint of low fat or fat free half and half into the pot

-Mix 1.5 TBSP water with 1 TBSP all purpose flour to create the
slurry and add it to the soup

-****Continue to Stir**** while the soup is brought to a boil to
prevent a nasty brown layer of cheese forming at the bottom.

-Add the ground beef to the soup

-Season with a little black and red pepper


-Last step is to add in a bag of shredded sandwich lettuce to the
soup. I know it sounds strange but I swear this is the best part!
I add shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes after it is in the bowl.
Nice garnish.
