Instructions
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook for 3-5 minutes until soft and fragrant.

- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream or chosen alternative. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Warm through gently for a few minutes.
