Saute onions in butter for 10 minutes, or until onions are translucent. Add potatoes, chicken stock, pepper and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until potatoes are soft. Add watercress and simmer for an additional 5 to 8 minutes.

Place soup in a blender and blend until homogenized. Pour through a strainer into another container.
