Step 4: Thicken the Base
In a small bowl, whisk the flour with the milk until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the pot, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking for another 5–7 minutes until the soup thickens to a creamy consistency.
Step 5: Add the Beef and Cheese
Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Then, add the shredded cheddar cheese gradually, stirring until it melts into the soup and creates a rich, cheesy base.
Step 6: Finish with Sour Cream
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sour cream. This gives the soup a luxurious creaminess and a subtle tang that balances the richness of the cheese. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
