Ingredients
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 cup diced onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until lightly browned.
