Heat a pot over high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp butter, 4 oz yellow onions, 2 oz carrots, and 2 oz celery. Cook for 2 minutes or until translucent, stirring constantly. Add 3 tsp minced garlic and 12 oz potatoes; continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour to the pot and mix it in with other ingredients. Add 3 cups chicken broth, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked. Add 1/2 cup milk and stir to mix. Turn off the heat.
Using a potato masher or a hand blender, mash or blend potatoes and vegetables to make the soup thicker to your liking. (This step is optional.)
