2 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup chopped onion
⅓ cup chopped carrots
⅓ cup chopped celery
4 cups water
½ cup dry white wine
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

In a large skillet, heat the butter and saute the onions, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes. Add the water, wine, and salt and pepper to the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for 5 additional minutes.
