## 👩🍳 Directions
1. **Sauté the aromatics**: In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
2. **Add the vegetables**: Stir in the chopped potatoes and broccoli. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
3. **Pour in broth** and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4. **Blend (optional)**: For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree some of the soup, leaving some chunks for texture.
5. **Stir in the milk and cheeses**, letting them melt slowly into the soup. Add salt, pepper, and any optional spices to taste.
6. **Simmer another 5–10 minutes**, stirring often, until creamy and thickened.
7. **Serve hot**, garnished with extra cheese or a sprinkle of green onions if desired.
