Brown Onion Soup

Peel and thinly slice 4 large onions. In a large kettle melt 2 tablespoonfuls of butter, add the onions, cover, draw back and simmer slowly for twenty minutes, then draw forward and cook until pale brown. Sprinkle in 3 large tablespoonfuls of flour. Stir until absorbed and a nice brown color. Slowly add 3 pints of hot milk (or milk and water), stirring until thick and smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste, cover and simmer gently for fifteen minutes longer. This soup is not strained.
