Cheeseburger Soup

This recipe was adapted from one my sister submitted to a church cookbook! I've changed a few things to make it work for us and spice it up a bit!

Ingredients:

1 cup instant rice
1 lb. ground sausage (we've liked our bear sausage, but feel free to use hamburger or other ground meat), browned and drained
1 cup of chopped carrots
3/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 box (32 oz) of chicken broth
12 oz. Velveeta
16 oz. Milk
8 oz. sour cream


Directions

In 4 qt. pot, simmer vegetables in broth until crisp-tender while browning sausage. After draining sausage, add the rest of the ingredients except sour cream to pot. When rice is cooked, add sour cream and serve.

Option: Put all ingredients except sour cream in crockpot and heat on low until vegetables are soft (usually a couple of hours on low). Before serving, add sour cream.
