Servings: persons

½ cup unsalted butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 large idaho potatoes, total peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
3 cups water
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 dash grated nutmeg
1 dash cayenne
minced chives or parsley, for garnish

1
In a large saucepan or flameproof casserole, melt half the butter over moderate heat.
2
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden and starting to brown at the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
3
Add the chicken broth, potatoes, and water.
4
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, until the potatoes are soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
5
With a potato masher or the back of a large spoon, mash the potatoes just enough to thicken the soup, but leave plenty of chunks intact.
6
Add the milk and the remaining butter.
7
Season the soup with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne.
8
Serve piping hot, garnished with the minced chives.
