2 Celery stalks, diced
2 Carrots, diced

While soup is simmering, stir slowly every 20 mins. In a saucepan, melt remaining butter over low heat, and saute onions. Add flour, stir to fine consistency. Add milk, making a smooth white sauce. When soup is done, add white sauce and mix well. Add chopped dill (dried is fine) to taste. Serve hot.
