English term or phrase: milk soup vs. dairy soup
Hello native speakers of English,

Does a term 'milk soup' sounds familiar to you at all? Or may this be a literal translation from Polish (zupa mleczna)?

Bread and milk is like soup made with hot milk and pieces of bread in it with sugar. I think it is an old Victorian recipe.

I had a look at the recipe. It's the same as bread and milk as my grandmother used to make it (and I liked it)

agree  Anna Quail: Agree with your original answer -"No! " The "milk soup" you managed to find is not the same thing as Miroslawa's Polish 'zupa mleczna'. See the asker notes above.

cream soup?


Explanation:
I don't know what kind of soup this is, but I've never heard of either milk or dairy soup. I think you would generally say "cream soup" regardless of whether you actually used cream (as opposed to milk).
