+====== Cheeseburger soup ======
+===== Updated version =====
+The original is from Neal's mom's cookbook, scanned in below.
+This version doubles and thickens the original, implementing the changes I wrote on my printout.
+==== Ingredients ====
+  * 2 lb ground beef
+  * 3 cups carrots, peeled & diced
+  * 2 cups celery, diced
+  * 2 tsp dried basil
+  * 8 tbsp butter
+  * 6 cups chicken broth
+  * 10 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
+  * 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
+  * 16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
+  * 3 cups milk
+  * 1.5 tsp salt
+  * 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
+  * 1/2 cup sour cream
+  * Red pepper
+==== Procedure ====
+  - In giant pot: brown beef, drain, set aside.
+  - In same pot: saute carrots and basil in 2-tbsp butter until tender (~10 minutes)
+  - Add broth, potatoes, and beef; bring to boil.
+  - Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes (or until potatoes are tender).
+  - //Meanwhile, make the roux//: in small saucepan, melt 6-tbsp butter, add flour, cook and stir for 2-3 minutes.  //Time this so it's ready when the above is done.//
+  - Add the roux to the soup, bring to boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes.

 Addendum: you can skip the celery and onion if you want.  You can double the meat and veggies for more of a chunky stew, which is good.  Also, throw some red pepper in there.
