Follow these easy steps to create The Best Creamy Potato Soup:

1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.
2. Sauté the Onions: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the pot along with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
4. Pour in Broth: Add the chicken or vegetable broth to the pot, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for approximately 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
6. Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches and blend until creamy. Be cautious of hot steam!
7. Stir in Cream: Once blended, return the soup to low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
8. Serve: Allow the soup to heat through for about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.

Following these steps will ensure that you create a rich, creamy potato soup that everyone will adore!
