  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (16 oz.) package velveeta, cubed
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped

  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  3. Place beef, along with onion, carrot, celery and potatoes in slow cooker and cover with chicken broth. Season with basil and parsley, the cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in refrigerated roux mixture, then add in cubed velveeta. Cover again and cook for another 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and soup is thick and smooth.
