Triple D Cheeseburger Soup

Triple D Cheeseburger Soup * 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 * 1/4 cup flour mixed with 3/4 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. Add in onion & hamburger. Season to taste and lower heat. Cover and cook for about an 1 hour. Add the tomatoes and lettuce, stir and serve.
