Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups diced potatoes (about 2-3 medium-sized potatoes)
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Method:

1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Add the diced potatoes, broth, thyme, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
5. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or allow it to cool and puree it in a blender.
6. Stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half and season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives or scallions if desired.
