instructions
    1

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

    2

    Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.

    3

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

    4

    Add the cubed potatoes, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper to the pot.

    5

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

    6

    Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or blend in batches using a regular blender).

    7

    Stir in the heavy cream, and heat through without boiling for about 5 more minutes.

    8

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives.
