Cooking Instructions:

In a medium-sized soup kettle, saute onion in butter.

Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.

Add milk or half and half and seasonings, and simmer 5 to 10 minutes.

For those who prefer to make their own knoephla rather that buy the frozen ones, this is how I do it.
