Swiss Cheese Onion Soup

I have been eating a lot of soup lately.  Cream soups are my comfort food for cold wintry days!  Please note the cook times 30-40 minutes to prepare.
Swiss Cheese Onion Soup
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 cups thinly-sliced onions
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth(or you can use beef, or veggie)
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • Buttered bread

Melt butter in large saucepan.
Cook onions over medium heat for about 10 minutes. 
Stir in chicken broth. Bring to boil. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
Whisk flour and milk in a measuring cup. 
Stir milk mix into onion mixture.  Cook on medium heat until soup comes to a boil and thickens.
While cooking cut bread into the shape of the bowl and butter.  (Save crusts in freezer to use for bread crumbs when needed)
Remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup of the cheese until melted. 
Ladle into oven-proof soup bowls. 
Top with bread butter side up.  sprinkle with with remaining cheese
Broil until bread is toasted!
Yummy!
