1 yellow onion, chopped
1 Whole carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 tsp dried thyme

In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the onion in a small amount of oil and salt. When the onions turn translucent, add the carrot and celery, and continue cooking over medium heat until all of the vegetables are soft.
