Instructions

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small cubes; rinse well.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter and sauté chopped onion until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Sprinkle flour over the onions and garlic, stirring well. Gradually add chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps; bring to a gentle simmer.
Add diced potatoes, salt, and pepper; simmer until potatoes are tender (15-20 minutes).
Use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup for creaminess while keeping some chunks intact.
Stir in half and half and sour cream until combined. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives.
