Creamy Onion Soup

Kevin is a huge fan of onion soup.  I will guarantee that if French Onion Soup is one of the choices, he will go with it everytime.  I made this Creamy Onion Soup a few weeks ago when I did not have the few hours to devote to making French Onion.  This came in a close second!  Easy to make and had great flavor.  I did add about one teaspoon of thyme but that is because we like the flavor.

Creamy Onion Soup
1 pound yellow onions, sliced
2 tablespoons margarine
4 cups chicken broth
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper
1 dash thyme
¼ teaspoon seasoning blend
2 cups milk, divided

1. In a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, sauté onions in margarine. Add broth, pepper, thyme and seasoning blend; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add 1-2/3 cup of the milk.
2. Stir flour into remaining milk until smooth; add to soup. Bring to boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes until thick.
