Onion Cheese Soup

 

3 large brown onions

4 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons flour

2 cups milk

2 cups broth

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon mace or nutmeg

1 egg yolk, beaten

1 cup grated mild cheddar cheese

 

Melt butter in a 4-quart sauce pot on medium heat. Add onions and saute until

lightly browned. Add flour and cook an additional 5 minutes until butter and

flour are well blended.

Slowly add milk and broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Season with

salt, pepper, and mace and continue to cook until soup thickens.

Whisk in egg yolk slowly and add grated cheese. Simmer for another 5 to 10

minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat. Serve

immediately.

Yields about 4 cups.
