Step 1
Place potatoes and chicken broth in a large dutch oven or pot and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
While potatoes are cooking, melt butter in a saucepan, then saute the onions. Once they begin to soften, stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute or two.
Step 3
Whisk in flour.
Step 4
Add milk and cook over medium heat, stirring regularly.
Step 5
Once the milk thickens, add milk and onion mixture to the cooked potatoes.
Step 6
This next step is totally optional. If you like a chunky potato soup, you're ready to add your toppings and serve. However, we like our potato soup to have a smoother consistency so I put it in the food processor just long enough to break down the potatoes, about 20-30 seconds.
Step 7
Ladle into bowls and add toppings such as cheese, bacon and/or scallions.
Step 8
Enjoy!
