Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add chopped onion, shredded carrots, diced celery, dried basil, and parsley. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cubed potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15-20 minutes.
  4. Combine flour with some chicken broth in a small bowl to form a paste. Gradually stir into the soup to thicken, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Velveeta and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, stirring until smooth, about 5 minutes over low heat.
  6. Mix in whole milk, salt, pepper, and sour cream. Heat through for about 5 minutes without boiling.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with optional onion rings and green onions.
