Personal Notes:
This is Mom's original recipe. She always doubled this. Her notations of measurements are 5 1/4 cups broth, 1 cup butter, 1 cup flour, 1 cup onions. And instead of the pastry crust, her version, and in my opinion, the better version, uses a biscuit crust. You can use Bisquick or make your own biscuit recipe. Mom made her own. but I have use Bisquick and it is a close 2nd.
