01
Step
7 mins
In a large skillet over medium heat, combine ground beef, sausage, and diced onion. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and the onions are translucent, about 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease. Transfer the mixture to a large pot or Dutch oven.
02
Step
15 mins
Stir in chicken broth, cubed potatoes, diced carrots, minced garlic, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
03
Step
5 mins
In a small bowl, whisk together milk and flour until smooth to create a slurry. Gradually pour the slurry into the pot, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the chowder back up to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the chowder has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
04
Step
2 mins
Remove the pot from the heat. Gently stir in the cubed Cheddar cheese and sour cream until the cheese is melted and the chowder is smooth. Avoid boiling at this stage to prevent curdling.
05
Step
1 mins
Ladle the chowder into serving bowls. Garnish each serving with diced fresh tomatoes for a burst of freshness and color. Serve immediately and enjoy!
For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef and sausage in a skillet with a tablespoon of butter or olive oil before combining with the other ingredients.
If you prefer a smoother chowder, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cheese and sour cream. Be careful not to over-blend, as it can become gummy.
Feel free to customize the toppings! Consider adding crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, or a dollop of hot sauce for extra flavor and flair.
Adjust the amount of cheese to your liking. For an extra cheesy chowder, add another half cup to a full cup of cheese.
This chowder is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
