Introduction

Since the original recipe submitted by JOEKNEE had ingredients that were higher in carbs (i.e. fat free HH, carrots, turkey), I tweaked it and brought the carb count down some! Remember to calculate Net Carbs (subtract the fiber count from the total carbs) to get the true # of carbs.

Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    1 lb. ground beef, lean
    2 tsp onion powder
    1 tsp basil
    3 cups beef broth
    1 cup each frozen brocolli, frozen cauliflower
    1 1/2 cups half & half
    8 oz. shredded 2% cheddar cheese

Directions

Brown ground beef and drain off any fat. Return to a large pot/dutch oven and add onion powder. Brown a little longer to flavor the meat. Add beef broth, basil and frozen veggies. Bring to boil and simmer covered about 20 minutes until the veggies are tender.
Add in half and half and then the shredded cheese. Take off heat and stir until cheese is melted. DO NOT return to heat or cheese will separate and not look creamy and pretty. (will still be edible, but clumpy).
So many vegetable/cheese combinations to use. Have fun!
You can garnish with sour cream, Thanks JOEKNEE!
