Sauté the onion, carrot, and celery in butter: Heat a large thick-bottomed pot on medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the pot and let it foam up and recede. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and sauté for 5 minutes. Lower the heat if the vegetables begin to brown.

Purée the soup: Use an immersion blender to purée the soup, or work in batches and purée the soup in a stand blender.
