1 tsp. minced onion
2 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. flour
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 c. tomato juice
2 c. milk

Saute onion in butter on low heat. Measure dry ingredients into a small bowl. Remove pan of onion from heat; slowly stir in dry ingredients until smooth. Gradually stir in tomato juice, mixing steadily. Return to heat and bring to a boil while stirring constantly to prevent lumping; boil 1 minute.

Slowly stir hot mixture into cold milk (this will help to prevent curdling of milk). Heat rapidly to serving temperature. Serve warm; garnish with chopped parsley. 2 servings.
