2 cups water
2 bananas

2 tablespoons sugar

1. Heat rice and water to boiling in 2-quart saucepan reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Let stand about 10 minutes or until cool enough to eat, or refrigerate.

"This soup is great for breakfast or just about any time. I normally recommend avoiding milk for diarrhea, but in this recipe the milk is added to bananas and rice, which makes it an effective remedy for diarrhea."
---Dr. Ghosh
