Instructions: Slice the onions and simmer them in the butter over medium heat until translucent and soft. Do not let them brown.

Add flour and pepper. Stir.

Add consommee and water. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, or until needed.

Pile cheese onto slices of toast and put into the bottom of soup bowl. Pour hot soup over.

You can substitute soda crackers spread with tangy cheese spread for a less elegant presentation.
