Creating Absolutely Ultimate Potato Soup is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel and dice the potatoes and chop the onion.
2. Sauté Onions: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
5. Blend Soup: Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches.
6. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through, but do not boil.
7. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, chives, or crispy bacon.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious and creamy potato soup that is sure to impress!
