Creating Cheddar Garlic Herb Potato Soup can be a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté the Onions: Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. Add Potatoes and Broth: Mix in the diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil.
5. Season: Add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
6. Simmer: Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
