Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook and crumble the ground beef for 6 to 8 minutes until no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the same pot. Add the carrots, celery, onions, dried basil, and dried parsley. Stir and sauté for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add the potatoes, ground beef, and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
