For a richer flavor, consider using butter or olive oil instead of margarine. Feel free to add other root vegetables like parsnips or turnips for added depth. A splash of heavy cream at the end can elevate the soup's creaminess. Garnish with a swirl of cream, a sprinkle of fresh parsley, or croutons for an elegant touch.

StepIn a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the margarine over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-10 minutes.
