Melt the butter in a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onions and

Strain the soup, reserving the liquid. Place the solids into the large work bowl with the large metal chopping blade and purée until completely smooth, about 1 minute.

With the machine running, add reserved liquid through the feed tube until desired consistency is achieved.

Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.
