Re.  Previous Post

How could write about cooking macaroni in milk without talking about piimasupp (milk soup)?  Piimasupp, a comforting childhood favourite of many Estonians, except me.  Yes, I admit, I have never tried this soup.  So for those that are unfamiliar with this soup I have included J. Lindpere’s recipe:

Piimasupp Makaronidega (Milk Soup with Macaroni)

100 g macaroni

600 mL salted water

20 g butter

1 L milk

Bring water to a boil, add the salt, butter and macaroni and cool until pasta is soft. 

Add the milk and cook for another 2-3 minutes. 

Serve with toasted bread.  Optional: This soup can be sprinkled with sugar or cinnamon sugar.
