Cheeseburger Soup For Dinner!

I found a cheeseburger soup recipe online, and it is amazing! Maybe I'll even share it at the end of my post, if I'm not to lazy from being in a cheeseburger soup coma.

I've reached the part in my book where it's probably a good idea for me to actually buy some yarn and knitting needles so I can practice what the diagrams are in the book. I thought I was going to get to the craft store tonight, but I don't think that's going to happen. I think I'll go tomorrow before my ballroom dancing class, which I cannot skip...again.

So I was worrying a little too much about the whole being busy for Election Day. We were definitely busy, but it wasn't uncontrollable, and I really should have taken a deep breath at first. But I didn't, and the day sucked pretty much. Oh well, tomorrow's a new day.

I don't have much more to say besides that I'm going to try to get some pictures up of my new knitting stuff once I get it. Soon!

Gonna make it short tonight, just want to relax for a little bit.

Here's the recipe for the soup if anyone cares to try it out:
-1/2 lb. Ground Beef
-3/4 cup Chopped Onion
-3/4 cup Shredded Carrots
-3/4 cup Chopped Celery
-1 teaspoon Dried Basil
-1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
-4 Tablespoons Butter
-3 cups Chicken Broth
-4 cups Cubed Potatoes
-1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
-2 cups Cubed Cheddar Cheese
-1 1/2 cups Milk
-1/4 cup Sour Cream

1. In a large pot, melt 1 tablespoon butter or margarine over medium heat: cook and stir vegetables and beef, until brown.
2. Stir in basil and parsley. Add broth and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
3. In a saucepot, melt the remainder of butter and stir in flour. Add the milk, stirring until smooth.
4. Gradually add milk mixture to the soup, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Stir in cheese. When the cheese is melted, add a sour cream and heat through, but do not boil.

Enjoy!
