finely chopped, about 6 times. Remove and set aside. Add the celery
and carrot to the chopping cup. Pulse on High until finely chopped,
about 8 to 9 times. Remove and set aside with the onion and garlic.
2. Heat the oil and butter in a medium stockpot set over medium heat.
Once the butter melts, add the chopped vegetables with ½ teaspoon of
the salt and the thyme, and sauté until softened, about 5 to 6 minutes.

a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.

up-and-down motion. Gradually increase to High until very smooth,
about 1 minute 30 seconds. Add remaining salt; blend for an additional
10 to 15 seconds to incorporate.
