One of my favorite TV shows .. Diners Drive Ins and Dives
I am going to try this tomorrow ,it is supposed to be really good. But am substituting Velveeta for good ole Canadian sharp cheddar and maybe going to add bacon and deglaze the pan with red or white wine ??? .
Will let you know if it is any good.
The lettuce is throwing me off a bit, but the patrons at the restaurant said it made the soup and so did Guy .. 8)
Wonder if lager or guinness in the stock would be good ? :lol:
Yields: 6 servings
* 1 pound super lean ground beef
* 16 oz chicken stock
* 1 pints half and half
* ½ block of Velveeta, cubed
* 1 large onion, diced
* 3 T. butter
* 2 med tomatoes, chopped
* 2 cups Iceberg lettuce, chopped
* Salt & Pepper to taste
* ¼ cup flour mixed with ¾ cup water (for thickener)
In a Dutch oven, melt butter and sweat onion until translucent, remove. Add ground beef, season with salt & pepper and cook until browned and a bit crispy, drain. (Next time I will make actual patties and grill them to get more of a burger taste) remove from pan.
Add your chicken stock, & flour slurry, bring to boil scrapping bits off the bottom. Add half & half and Velveeta. Cook until all the cheese is melted, not boiling.
Season to taste and lower heat. Cover and cook for about an 1 hour. Add the tomatoes and lettuce, stir and serve. ENJOY!

And replacing part of the stock with Guiness would definately add depth of flavor. You could deglaze with the Guiness, too!
