Calories 445kcal
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 ½ cup chopped onion
- 4 cups cubed potatoes
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 21 ounce condensed French Onion soup 2-10.5 ounce cans, undiluted
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups evaporated milk
- 4 cups sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
- ¼ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heavy stockpot over medium heat. Add ground beef and onion. Cook until beef is browned and done, breaking up as it cooks, about 5-6 minutes.Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, 10 to12 minutes.
- Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in evaporated milk; simmer and stir until sauce is thick and smooth. Add cream sauce into soup, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and stir in cheese until melted.
- Stir in sour cream, stirring until just heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot topped with green onions, French fried onions, or croutons.
Slow Cooker Instructions
- Cook the potatoes, onions, French onion soup, and broth in your slow cooker on low (6-8 hours) or on high (4-5 hours).
- About 45 minutes before serving, cook beef in a large saucepan and add it to the crockpot.
- Prepare the cream sauce in the same pan, then stir it in the slow cooker along with the shredded cheese and sour cream. Continue cooking until the cheese melts.
Notes
Storage:
Once your creamy, cheesy soup has cooled to room temperature, store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. I don’t recommend freezing this soup, since the potatoes get mushy and the cheesy broth separates when it’s frozen and thawed.
