How to Make Unbelievably Easy Potato Soup

  1. Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add cubed potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  3. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth and creamy. (Be cautious when blending hot liquids.)
  4. Return the soup to the pot. Stir in milk (skim or half-and-half), salt, and pepper. Heat through, but do not boil.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives (optional).
