1 1/2 c. water
2 cups, peeled, cubed potatoes
2 small carrots, grated
1 small onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 T. beef bouillon granules
1/2 t. salt
1 lb. ground beef, cooked and drained
2 1/2 c. milk, divided
3 T. flour
8 oz. American cheese, cubed
1/4 to 1 t. cayenne pepper, optional
In a large saucepan, combine the first nine ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Stir in beef and 2 cups milk. Heat through. Combine flour and remaining milk; stir until smooth, then gradually stir into soup. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat and stir in cheese until melted. Add cayenne, if desired.
