Personal Notes:
You may omit the bacon and simmer onions in canola oil. If I have clam sauce, I add that in place of some or all of the water. If you use skim milk and want a thicker product add some fat-free half and half in place of the skim milk, about 1/4 cup. Start with small amount for too much makes an unacceptable consistency.
