1/4 stick butter
1 lg. onion or 2 med.
2 bouillon cubes
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 tbsp. flour
Toast (French bread is good)
Swiss cheese

Saute onion in butter; add flour mixed with water to form a paste. Add bouillon cubes and 2 cups of water, more if you like thin soup. I like thick soup and a lot of onions. Add salt and pepper; bring to a boil and simmer at least 1 hour.

Brown toast; put in bottom of oven proof bowl. Top with 2 tablespoons grated cheese. Pour soup over and place in broiler until cheese browns or soup bubbles. (I got this recipe in Germany. They served it in one of our favorite restaurants.)
