Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter

1 cup diced carrots

1/2 cup diced celery

1/2 onion, diced

4 cups chicken broth

2-3 large potatoes, peeled and diced

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 pound ground beef, cooked

1 cup milk

1 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté these vegetables until the onion becomes translucent and the vegetables begin to soften, approximately 5-8 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potatoes and dried parsley. Bring the mixture to a low boil and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cooked ground beef, cubed cheese, and milk. Stir frequently until the cheese is completely melted and all ingredients are well combined, about 5 minutes.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve hot with fresh bread on the side.

Grocery List Plus Editorial Staff4

Every ingredient is available at any major Charlotte grocery chain, with no specialty stops needed, and the beef, potatoes, and cheese are reliably cheap even during off-season. The stated 45 minutes is honest—dicing vegetables and browning meat will eat 20 of those minutes, but the long simmer requires minimal attention, making it a solid weeknight option for feeding a family. Processed cheese (American slices, not a special block) keeps costs low at roughly $1.50 to $2 per serving depending on beef prices and broth choice. The soup reheats well and tastes better the next day, which is a genuine convenience for families with uneven schedules.
