In a 6-quart pot set over medium heat, (or in instant pot on sauté) add the ground beef, carrots, celery, onion, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until the meat is no longer pink. Off the heat, drain excess grease.

Return the pot to medium heat and add the potatoes, broth, parsley, basil, and mustard powder. Stir to combine. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue to simmer for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. (Or in instant pot high pressure for 9 minutes with a QR)

To a blender bottle, add the milk and flour and shake well. Pour the mixture into the hot soup and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes, until the soup has thickened. (For instant pot, after QR set to sauté and pour in flour mixture and the bring to simmer, stirring 3-4 minutes)

Off the heat, add the sour cream and blend p, the add the cheese a handful at a time and stir until melted and blended. (Or in instant pot, cancel saute and turn to keep warm.)

Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed (important!).

Serve with chopped green onions or chives, sour cream and additional shredded cheese, if desired. The soup will thicken considerably as it cools.

Notlar

This recipe has been modified by Bonnie.

Ground Beef: for a less meaty soup, the ground beef can be decreased to 1/2 pound.

Gluten Free Substitute: for a gluten-free version, sub 2 tablespoons cornstarch for the 1/4 cup flour (blend and add to the soup per the recipe) or use 1/4 cup rice flour or other gf flour.

Cheese: 1/2 of the cheddar cheese can be subbed for shredded Monterey Jack cheese, if desired (the cheese flavor will be less pronounced and the soup will be slightly creamier).
