Ingredients

⅓ cup butter
¼ cup flour
3 cups tomato juice or V-8
¼ tsp baking soda
2-3 cups milk
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
saltine crackers or oyster crackers I prefer the oyster crackers because they stay crisp longer

Instructions

In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Then whisk in the flour until smooth.
Add the tomato juice or V-8 and stir until it thickens.
Next whisk in the soda followed by 2 cups of milk, sugar and salt. Cook until heated though. Taste the soup at this point and if you like it creamier, add the additional cup of milk. Divide into 4 bowls and serve with crackers.
