Step 1
Begin by assembling all your ingredients for a seamless cooking experience.

In a spacious pot, melt the butter over medium heat, allowing it to bubble gently.

Introduce the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing them until the onion turns a lovely translucent shade, which should take about five minutes.

Allow the vegetables to become tender, which will take approximately ten to twenty minutes.

Once they are perfectly cooked, remove the pot from the heat.

With an immersion blender, purée the soup until it achieves a velvety smooth texture.

Place the pot back on the stove over low heat, and gently stir in the milk, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and dry sherry.

Heat the soup through for about three to four minutes, ensuring all the flavors meld beautifully.
