– 1 cup whole milk
– 1 cup sour cream
– 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions
1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until transparent, about 5 minutes.

4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour into the milk until smooth. Gradually stir this into the soup.
6. Allow the soup to simmer gently while stirring, until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream, ensuring the soup stays warm without boiling.
