Preparing

In a large pot put in potatoes and cover with water. Boil until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

In a stockpot, melt the butter over low heat, add the onion, and gently sautŽ until soft and translucent (do not brown). Add the potatoes, cream, Half & Half, bouillon cubes, milk, salt and pepper.
