Cheese Soup(Lanarkshire)

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Finely chopped onion
• 1 1/4 cup hot water
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons Flour
• Seasoning (I use a touch of Herbes de Provence)
• 2 tablespoons Finely grated Stilton cheese
• butter or margarine

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.
