Prepare the Semolina:

In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.

Gradually add the semolina to the boiling water while stirring continuously. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

Combine Milk and Sugar:

In a large saucepan, combine the whole milk and granulated sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.

Heat the Milk Mixture:

Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the milk mixture. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Heat the mixture until it's hot but not boiling.

Add Semolina:

Gradually add the prepared semolina mixture to the warm milk while stirring constantly. This will thicken the soup.

Add Vanilla and Salt:

Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more sugar if desired.

Simmer and Thicken:

Continue to simmer the soup over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Remember that it will thicken further as it cools.
