In large stock pot, sauté onions and shallot with 1 stick butter . Add crushed garlic and sauté (1-2 minutes). Add Salt, Pepper and Chili powder and stir for another minute. Add diced, peeled potatoes into pot and cover with Chicken stock. Add Bay leaves, Basil and Thyme and simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Using a potato masher, mash to desired consistency (the more you mash, the thicker the soup). Pour in the Cream and allow to simmer another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
