Ingredients:

1/2 lb ground beef (80/20%)
230g
2 tbsp butter
27g
1 onion
110g
2 carrots
120g
3 stalks celery
120g
1 tbsp garlic
8g
3 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
24g
2 cups chicken broth
480g
2 cups milk (2% fat)
490g
3 cups potatoes
450g
1.50 cup cheddar cheese
170g
1 tbsp mustard
16g
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
16g
1/4 tsp salt
1.50g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g
1 tomato
120g

Instructions:

1. Brown the Beef:
- 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.
2. Cook the Vegetables:
- 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.
3. Make the Roux:
- 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.
4. Add Liquids:
- 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.
5. Add Potatoes and Simmer:
- 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.
6. Melt the Cheese:
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and well incorporated into the soup.
7. Season 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.
8. Finish with Tomato:
- Just before serving, stir in the diced tomato for a fresh burst of flavor.
9. Serve:
- 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. This comforting and nutritious dish is sure to satisfy your cravings while keeping your diet in check. Don't forget to personalize the recipe with your favorite seasonings and toppings to make it your own. Happy cooking!
