4 large Idaho baking potatoes, peeled and cubed

Bring mixture to a boil, cover, decrease heat and simmer for 1 hour or until vegetables are fork-tender.

After final batch is puréed, transfer soup back into the original large pot and simmer until heated through. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with snipped fresh chives. Serve immediately.
