Set a pot over medium heat and add 1 pound of ground beef without oil.

Add 1/2 cup of chopped onion and 2 cloves of garlic to the pot.

Stir and cook for about 15 minutes or until the meat starts to brown.

Drain off some of the oil using a folded paper towel, being careful not to remove any meat.

Add 4 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 2 ribs of chopped celery to the pot; stir and cook for about 3 minutes.

Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and add 1 tablespoon of complete seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.

Add 1.5 pounds of diced potatoes that have been soaked in water; stir to combine.

Cook for 15 minutes until the potatoes are soft, then test for doneness.

Stir in 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 8 ounces of Velveeta cheese cut into cubes; stir and heat through for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Let the soup sit for a bit to allow flavors to meld before serving.

Optionally add diced tomatoes, bacon, pickles, or pickled jalapenos for extra flavor.
