Oma's Easy Cheese Soup, German-style

Here's my easy cheese soup, aka Käsesuppe, that's great on a cold winter's night. This German Käsesuppe is delicious with a hearty loaf of German bread. 

Taking only about 30 minutes to make, this quick easy soup is a favorite among kids. Buy your cheese already grated - easier still.

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• ¼ cup flour
• 4 cups chicken broth
• ¼ pound Gouda, shredded
• ⅞ cup cream
• salt, pepper, nutmeg to taste
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• chives to garnish

Instructions:

1. Melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat in frying pan. Add garlic.
2. Stir in flour.
3. Add chicken broth. Bring to boil, stirring continually. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add cheese and cream. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
5. Simmer 10 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, brown onion slices in 1 tablespoon butter.
7. Serve soup, garnished with onion slices and chives.
