Additional ingredients:
- 3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sauté until softened and fragrant.
