Ingredients
Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add onion and celery, cooking until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
Stir in garlic and thyme, seasoning lightly with salt. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add potatoes, stirring to coat with the vegetables. Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 7 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Transfer 4 cups of soup mixture to a blender, vent the lid, and blend until smooth. Return to the pot and stir to combine.
Stir in half-and-half and bring back to a gentle simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Add shredded Gouda, stirring until melted and incorporated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve hot, garnished with sliced chives and a sprinkle of black pepper.
