• In a soup pot, add diced onion to butter and olive oil. Saute over medium heat for 5 minutes.

• Cover pot and simmer on medium low for 1.5 hours (or until a fork easily pierces the vegetables).
• Remove bay leaf. Using a blender or immersion hand blender, puree soup mix.
• Alternative: My son prefers this soup in an non-pureed form. In that version, I cube the vegetables much smaller (about 1/2" cubes vs. the roughly 1 1/2" cubes I use for the pureed version). I reduce the cooking time to about 45 minutes, and add cooked egg noodles at the end for a brothy noodle soup. I also sometimes add small meatballs made out of ground turkey.
