Add the sautéed onion and garlic, along with the remaining 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, chopped fresh thyme, and whole milk to the mashed potatoes in the soup pot.

Place the pot back on medium heat and cook until the milk bubbles slightly around the edges, about 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
