1. In large saucepan or Dutch oven, warm butter over medium heat. Stir in
onions and garlic and saute until translucent.

boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until potatoes are soft, about 30
minutes.
3. Transfer soup to a food processor (or blender in batches) and puree
until smooth. (Soup can be made ahead until this point and refrigerated for
a day. Warm soup before proceeding.)
4. Pour soup back into pan, add half-and-half, and heat through.
