Instructions
- Place the butter, onions and garlic in a large sauce pot over medium-low heat. Saute for 5-8 minutes to soften. Stir occasionally.

Notes
- Storing leftovers - Store cooled soup in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer, making sure you leave room at the top of the container for expansion.
