With all the talk this morning I was craving cream of tomato soup at
lunch.

I made a perfectly satisfying one for myself with:

1 8oz tomato puree
1 T grated onion
2 T butter
1 T flour
8 oz 2% milk

Melt the butter, add flour and onion and cook for a couple of minutes,
add puree and bring to a boil. Add milk a little at a time and bring to
boiling point. Didn't miss that soup can at all with a 25 cent can of
tomato sauce.
