Cheeseburger in Paradise Skinny Soup
Ingredients
Ingredients for Soup:
- 1 pound extra-lean ground beef (I used Trader Joe’s 96/4) or ground turkey, see healthy benefits
- 1½ cups onion, chopped
- ¾ cup celery, diced
- ½ cup carrots, diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1½ teaspoons dried basil
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 (14.5 oz) cans Swanson’s reduced-sodium chicken broth (4 cups)
- 1 cup reduced-fat milk (1%)
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, not drained
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
Ingredients for Topping:
- 6 tablespoons reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- Ketchup
- Yellow mustard
- 1 dill pickle, chopped, see shopping tips
Instructions
- In a large nonstick pot or deep pan, brown the ground beef. Stir to break up into a crumble. Remove from heat, pour into a colander to drain the fat. Set aside.
- In the same pot, add the onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and basil. Sauté for about 5 minutes until vegetables are soft. Stir in the browned beef and flour, stirring to coat the meat. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the broth, milk, tomatoes, and potatoes. Bring to boil, turn heat to simmer, cover, and cook for about 30 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
- To serve: Ladle soup into individual bowls. Top each with 1 tablespoon cheese and a little ketchup, mustard, and chopped pickle. These toppings really add to the cheeseburger flavor!
