Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped

2 cans chicken broth
1 package (8 ounces) processed American cheese, cut into cubes
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon dried basil
3 tablespoons margarine
Salt and pepper, to taste

In a Dutch oven, brown the ground beef. Remove. In the same pot cook the celery, onion and carrots in the margarine until soft. Add the chicken broth, potatoes, ground beef, basil, salt and pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes. Combine the flour and milk until smooth. Add to soup. Cook another two to three minutes. Add the cheese and cook until it just melts.
