Cheese Soup(Lanarkshire)

Directions

Fry the onion, without browning, in the butter or margarine.

When soft add the hot water; when the fragments of the onion are fully cooked, add the milk to increase the measure to about a quart, and as soon as it boils add in the flour mixed smooth with milk.

Season to taste, stir and simmer until it thickens.

A moment or so before serving, mix in the cheese.
