Brown and drain hamburger. Sauté onion, celery, and carrots in 2 tablespoons of butter. Make roux from 2 tablespoons butter and flour. Set aside to cool. Add to vegetables the basil, parsley, potatoes and hamburger. Pour in broth (should just cover vegetables). Simmer slow until potatoes are cooked firm. Mix together roux, sour cream, and half-and-half. Add to soup and cook on low until thickened. Add cheese and stir until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste. Do not boil soup once cheese is added.
