Cooking Instructions
  1. In a 3-quart saucepan, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes, then drain excess fat.
  2. Add chopped onions, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Melt in 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté for about 10 minutes until tender.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add diced Yukon Gold potatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and whisk in 1/4 cup of flour until bubbly, then add to the soup to thicken.
  6. Bring the soup back to a boil for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
  7. Lower the heat and stir in Pepper Jack Velveeta, milk, salt, and pepper to taste, continuing to stir until cheese melts completely.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until fully mixed in.
