Ingredients
- 1 liter Whole milk
- 250 ml Water
- 100 grams Small pasta shapes (e.g., macaroni, alphabet shapes, or small shells)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium pot, combine the water and whole milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching or sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Step 2
Once the milk mixture reaches a gentle simmer (do not let it boil), add the pasta shapes to the pot.
Step 3
Stir the pasta periodically to ensure it does not clump or stick to the bottom. Cook the pasta in the milk mixture for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until it is tender. Check the package instructions for the recommended cooking time as it may vary depending on the pasta shape used.
Step 4
Once the pasta is fully cooked, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the butter, sugar, and salt, ensuring they dissolve completely into the soup.
Step 5
Taste the soup and adjust the sweetness or saltiness to your preference, if needed.
Step 6
Serve the milk soup warm in bowls. This dish can be enjoyed as-is or paired with a slice of crusty bread for a more filling meal.
