Start by browning 3/4 pound of ground beef in a 6-quart stainless steel pot over medium heat.

Once browned, drain the beef and set it aside.

In the same pot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, then add 3/4 cup of sliced celery, 3/4 cup of chopped red onion, and 3/4 cup of shredded carrots along with 1 teaspoon of dried parsley and 1 teaspoon of dried basil; sauté for about 10 minutes until softened.

Add 4 cups of diced potatoes and 3 cups of chicken broth to the pot, then return the ground beef to the mixture and bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

In a separate smaller pan, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat, then add 1/4 cup of flour and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring continuously to avoid burning.

Remove the flour mixture from heat and add it to the soup mixture, stirring to combine.

Lower the heat and add 1 1/2 cups of whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 12 ounces of Velveeta cheese; let it cook on low until the cheese is melted and everything is combined.

Once ready, turn off the heat and serve the soup in bowls, optionally garnishing with bacon pieces and green onions.
