MadJon's Creamed Onion Soup-Mushrooms Optional

Hello to all my foodie friends out in web land, I hope your new year is going all your way with lots of luck to you and yours.  This is a recipe I made up after I ate at an Italian Cafe here in our area and we ordered their Onion Soup and it was tasty but seemed to thick for soup, the texture was more like stew so I went to the test kitchen and remade the recipe to our own liking.  My hubby loves it and so did our friends that we played train with on that evening,  So you get to share in the pleasure of this wonderful warm soup.  It would pair with foods like a Quiche, fish, or chicken dishes.

Creamed Onion Soup

1 Onion, diced
6 cloves Garlic, minced
t tsp, salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. onion and garlic powders
1 tsp. Mrs Dashes
1 tsp. crushed dried thyme
1/2 stick butter, melted
4 TBSP flour
2 chicken bouillon
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups cream or low fat it with skim milk
oyster crackers for the top or seasoned croutons
optional 1/2 package sliced mushrooms, sauteed in light oil then tossed into soup

melt butter, add onions, garlic and saute until onions are clear in color.  Then add the spices, bouillon, thyme, salt, pepper etc and cook about five minutes.  Stir in the flour until well blended.  Slowly add your broth to the mix, stir and simmer mix for about ten minutes.  Then slowly add your cream.  If you wish to add mushrooms just saute them with a TBSP of oil and toss into the soup and simmer another five minutes, serve hot with crackers or croutons on top.  Serves six.  Bona' Y'all.
