👩🍳 Instructions
1. Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
2. Add Potatoes and Broth
Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
3. Blend for Creaminess
Use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup — this gives it a thick, creamy texture while keeping some potato chunks for bite.
4. Add Milk and Season
Stir in milk and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes.
5. Serve Warm
Ladle into bowls and top with bacon bits, shredded cheese, and chives for the ultimate comfort experience.
