Ingredients:

- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions or chives for garnish
Instructions:
Now let’s get started on making this delicious soup:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked through, use a potato masher to mash them slightly in the pot, creating a creamy texture while leaving some chunks for added heartiness.
- Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions or chives for a splash of color and added flavor.
