1 cup Healthy Request tomato juice or any reduced-sodium tomato juice
1 1/2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups (one 12-fluid-ounce can) Carnation Evaporated Skim Milk
1/4 cup (3/4 ounce) grated Kraft fat-free Parmesan cheese

In a large saucepan sprayed with olive oil-flavored cooking spray, saute onion for 5 minutes or until tender. Add undrained stewed tomatoes, tomato juice, corn parsley flakes, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to combine. In a covered jar, combine flour and evaporated skim milk. shake well to blend. Pour milk mixture into tomato mixture. Continue cooking until mixture thickens and is heated through, stirring often. When serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese over top of each bowl.
