Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 cup of diced onions and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until onions are translucent.
  2. Add 4 cups of diced potatoes, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of thyme, and ½ teaspoon of paprika. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly with seasonings for about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of broth, bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 30-40 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Mash some of the potatoes in the pot for a creamy consistency, leaving some chunks intact for heartiness, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, heating the mixture over low heat for an additional 5 minutes without boiling.
