Roasted Flour Soup or Dinner for Less than a Buck

5 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion sliced in rings
4 coups bouillon (chicken, vegetable or beef)

Optional (but then the soup will cost a bit more... but taste much better):
croutons-32 oz bag
grated cheese

Brown flour in pot while continuously stirring, then when nicely browned, let it cool off slightly. Add the butter or olive oil and stir with the flour. Add the onion and saute for a few minutes. Pour in the bouillon and bring to a boil while stirring. Lower the heat and let cook for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Season with pepper if necessary.
Serve in pre-warmed plates with croutons and grated cheese. Enjoy!
