Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Saute the onions with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper until soft. Add garlic and cook 2-3 more minutes, do not brown. Add red salsa, reserved chicken stock and water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook 10 minutes.
