In same pot, melt 1 T. butter over medium heat; saute onion, carrots, celery, basil and parsley until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add potatoes, broth and ground beef; bring to a boil; reduce heat; simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, 10-12 minutes.
In a small skillet, melt remaining 3 T. butter; add flour; cook and stir until bubbly, 3-5 minutes; add to soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low; stir in cheese, milk, salt and pepper; cook until cheese melts.
Remove from heat; blend in sour cream.
Serve with favorite toppings, if desired.
