By Barbara Rolek, About.com Guide
Makes 4 servings

"Milk soup is common among Poles (zupa mleczna), Czechs, Hungarians (tejleves), Lithuanians (pieninės sriubos), Ukrainians (sup molochnyy), Russians (sup molochnyĭ), and others. It is always eaten hot either for breakfast or as an easily digestible meal for the sick. They were a staple at Polish milk bars (bar mleczny) during the Communist era.

Among farmers, milk soup was a means of using up cow's milk that couldn't be turned into cheese, butter or buttermilk because of time or manpower constraints. Today, it is a universal comfort food often served with noodles, bread, rice, barley, farina, millet or potatoes."
