This heartwarming and creamy soup brings together hamburger, potatoes, and vegetables to create a rich and satisfying dish, perfect for a cozy meal. It's a delicious blend of flavors that offers both comfort and nourishment.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef along with the diced onions until the meat is fully cooked and the onions have softened. Drain off any excess grease.
Sauté the minced garlic in the skillet until it turns fragrant and lightly browned. Transfer this mixture to a crockpot or a large stockpot on the stove.
Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, vegetable mix, dried basil, and parsley to the pot.
For slow cooking, set the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. If using a stovetop, simmer the mixture until the potatoes are tender and slightly breaking down.
In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the milk until smooth, then gradually stir this mixture into the soup.
Add the cubed Velveeta cheese, stirring occasionally until it is completely melted into the soup. Once well combined, ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm.
Notes
For a thinner consistency, feel free to add more broth. Additionally, stirring in ½ cup of sour cream at the end can give the soup a delightful tangy twist.
