Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 ⅓ cups chopped yellow onion

Instructions:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Put in onion, carrot, celery, and garlic; sauté until the onion becomes translucent, which should take around 4 to 5 minutes.
