• ¼ cup onion, chopped
• ¼ cup butter or margarine
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. pepper
• ¾ cup chicken broth
• 1½ cups milk

In a pot, sauté the onion in butter until tender. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until smooth and bubbly.

Add cheese; stir until melted. Remove from heat. Serve immediately.
