1.In a sauce pan, combine ham and chicken bases and whisk until no lumps appear.

2.In a stockpot, melt 3 tablespoons margarine and sauté onions until transparent.

4.Add chicken and ham stock and stir until mixture begins to boil.

5.While mixture is boiling, microwave the remaining 3 tablespoons of margarine for 20 seconds or until melted.
