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.
3 cups Tasteful Selection White Delight Potatoes, 2 cups chicken broth
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.
1/2 yellow onion, 1/2 tsp minced garlic, 3 tbsp butter
Whisk in flour.
1/4 cup flour
Add milk and cook over medium heat, stirring regularly.
2 cups milk
Once the milk thickens, add milk and onion mixture to the cooked potatoes (do not drain the broth).
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.
Ladle into bowls and add toppings such as cheese, bacon and/or scallions.
Salt and pepper to taste, Shredded cheese, bacon and scallions for toppings
