Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Chopped chives for garnish

Directions

  1. In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
  3. Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir well to coat them with the onion and garlic mixture.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
