Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Break it into crumbles using a wooden spoon. Once browned, remove the beef from the pot and set aside, leaving any drippings in the pot.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pot. Once melted, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables become tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the 3 tablespoons of flour over the cooked vegetables. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes to cook the flour and remove its raw taste.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth, followed by the milk, while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Continue to stir until the mixture is well combined and starts to thicken.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and well incorporated into the soup.
- Add the cooked ground beef back into the pot. Stir in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, stir in the diced tomato for a fresh burst of flavor.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious low-fat cheeseburger soup with potatoes and veggies!
Tips:
- Use lean ground beef to reduce the fat content even further without compromising on flavor.
- Feel free to substitute with low-fat cheese to make the soup even healthier.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Be sure to chop the veggies into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- To save time, you can use pre-shredded cheese and pre-chopped vegetables.
Enjoy your low-fat cheeseburger soup with a side of whole grain bread or a fresh salad for a well-rounded meal.
