Chop 3/4 cup of onion and 3/4 cup of celery; set aside.

Cube 4 cups of potatoes and place them in a bowl with cold water to prevent browning.

In a large stock pot over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp of butter.

Add the chopped onions, 3/4 cup of pre-shredded carrots, and celery to the pot; stir.

Add 1/2 pound of ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it up into small pieces until browned evenly.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried basil and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley into the meat and vegetable mixture.

Drain the cubed potatoes and add them to the pot.

Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Lower the heat and simmer the soup until the potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tbsp of butter for the thickening sauce.

Once the butter starts to bubble, add 1/4 cup of flour and whisk for about a minute to remove the rawness.

Slowly add in 1 1/2 cups of milk, whisking until smooth and just starting to simmer.

When the potatoes are cooked, gradually add the milk mixture into the soup while stirring constantly.

Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Cut 2 cups of cubed cheddar cheese and add it to the soup; stir until the cheese melts evenly.

Add 1/4 cup of sour cream to the soup and stir until heated through, but remove from heat before it boils.

Garnish the soup with chopped parsley or crumbled bacon if desired.
