In a large saucepan or crock pot combine sausage, potatoes, onion, 11/2 teaspoons salt, and dash of pepper. Add 2 cups water. Bring to boil and reduce heat.

Blend remaining 1/2 cup of milk into flour; stir into soup. Cook and
stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in cheese until melted. Garnish with parsley or green onion. Makes 6 servings.
