Dice the potatoes into cubes. Boil them in chicken broth for ten minutes.
In another pan, mix the butter and flour to make the roux. Then add the half-and-half.
Once the mixture is smooth, add the Velveeta cheese and the cheddar cheese. Stir well.
Add the boiled potatoes and garlic powder to the mixture.
Cook for half an hour, all the while stirring.
Garnish with parsley to serve.

Notes
The potatoes — Although this one might seem unimportant, you should keep in mind that dicing the potatoes into evenly sized pieces will help your soup’s texture, and they will cook evenly as well. You shouldn’t mix different types of potatoes. Each kind has a different texture, and some are starchier than others.
