Dale's Chocolate Soup

1 quart milk or substitute
1/3 cup sugar ( Mom used 1/2)
4 heaping tablespoons cocoa
4 heaping tablespoons flour
1 egg

Mix together flour and coco. Heat milk and sugar in large kettle. When the milk boils, dump in the cocoa mixture and beat with a hand mixer until the lunps are small. Beat egg in a small amount of milk and add to the hot mixture, stiring quickly. Cook slowly until thick. Serve with a small amount of milk on top.

This is one of the dishes Don recalls from his childhood. Whenever they would ask someone if they wanted to come over for dinner and the kid asked what was for dinner. They'd reply, "Chocolate Soup". This is a German dish that comes from Don's mother's side of the family.
