Instructions:

2. Sauté Vegetables:
- In a large pot, heat 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they begin to soften and become translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.

6. Blend the Soup:
- Once the vegetables are tender, remove the pot from heat.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
7. Add Lemon Juice:
