2. In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat, add vegetables, and cook to warm through.
3. Add milk and cream and bring the soup to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and season with salt and pepper.
4. Add dill and chives and let simmer for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm.
