Creating this incredible Potato Soup is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prep the Vegetables: Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
2. Cook Onions and Garlic: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Add Potatoes and Broth: Add the diced potatoes to the pot. Pour in the broth and bring it to a boil.
4. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
5. Mash if Desired: If you prefer a creamy texture, use a potato masher to break down some of the potato chunks while leaving some whole for added texture.
6. Stir in Cream: Pour in the heavy cream or milk, stirring to combine. Let the soup heat through for an additional 5 minutes.
7. Season to Taste: Season the soup with salt and pepper according to your preferences.
8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes.

These straightforward steps will guide you in preparing a delightful potato soup for any occasion.
