Preparation steps
Preparation
Additions
If you want to add rhubarb compote: peel or trim the tough ends of the stalks, and cut them into 1–2 cm pieces. In a small saucepan, place 300 g of rhubarb and 30–40 g of sugar (from the sugar pool). Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it breaks down and releases juice — this takes 5–8 minutes. If you want a smooth consistency, lightly mash with a wooden spoon at the end of cooking.
Milk soup
Pour 1000 ml of milk into a medium saucepan, add a pinch of salt and about half of the sugar (if using). Place over medium heat and slowly heat, stirring occasionally, until the milk is hot and steam begins to rise, but do not let it boil (it should be around 80°C). This stage usually takes 4–6 minutes on a gas/electric stove.
When the milk is hot (steaming, not boiling), add 100 g of pasta. Reduce the heat to low and cook the pasta in the milk for 6–8 minutes, stirring every 1–2 minutes to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom. After 6 minutes, taste a piece of pasta – it should be soft, slightly al dente. If it is hard in the middle, cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
When the pasta is soft, remove the pot from the heat. Add 20 g of butter and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, gently stirring until the butter melts and combines with the soup. Taste and sweeten with the remaining sugar if desired. Do not cook the soup after adding the butter and cinnamon, just stir.
Serving
Pour the milk soup into deep plates or bowls. For each serving, add 1–2 tablespoons of rhubarb compote (if using) on one side of the plate — this way, guests can mix it to their own taste. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon or add a small piece of butter on top.
Fun Fact
Milk soup is a traditional, old Polish dish – it was often served to children and convalescents due to its easy digestibility and soothing taste. In some regions, groats were added instead of pasta.

Tips
Serve the soup hot, with a pat of butter and freshly ground cinnamon. Rhubarb compote or a spoonful of jam create a pleasant flavor contrast. For adults, you can add a few drops of vanilla extract.
Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 24–48 hours. Heat slowly over low heat, stirring to prevent the milk from curdling; do not bring to a strong boil. Store the rhubarb compote separately and add it before serving.
