In a large stockpot over medium heat, melt olive oil and butter.  Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery and cook for about 8 minutes.  Or until veggies are tender.

Vegetable Broth:  Add two cups of chicken broth and simmer for 3 minutes; remove from heat, and cool for 15 minutes.  Pour broth mixture into a food processor or blender, and blend until smooth.
