Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Serves: 6

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
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

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.
3. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

6. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency, or leave it chunky for more texture.

8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
