2.Cook the Base: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they’re soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3.Make the Roux: Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to make a roux (this will help thicken the soup). Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.
