Ronnie's Notes
This is a thick, chunky, rib-sticking soup. The cheese melts into the liquid and provides even more body to the dish. The texture is best when you puree a portion of the soup, so I’ve recommended it, but it’s perfectly fine if you don’t want to bother with that step. Warm pita or whole grain bread would be a good accompaniment.

Add the onion and cook for 3– or until softened.
