Pour the chicken broth into a large saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Crumble in the saffron threads, stir to combine, and reduce the heat to low to keep the broth warm throughout cooking.

Melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a wide heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
