This calcium-rich soup is a fabulous way to start a day. It's easy to make and gluten-free alternative to a bowl of sugary cereal. My four-year-old loves it!

How To Make the mother grain milk soup

  • 2
    Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions, or remove the pot from heat 1-2 minutes before recommended cooking time and let it stand for about 5 minutes, covered, in order to allow pasta finish cooking in an energy-saving way.
