4 tablespoons butter
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and sliced
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and sliced
3 cups milk
5 1/2 cups chicken stock (or use canned)
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, whole

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1
Heat a 6- to 8-quart stockpot, add the butter and onion, and cook gently. Do not let the onion brown. Add the peeled and sliced potatoes, milk, and chicken stock.
