Whisk the cornmeal with the milk in a wide bowl until smooth.
Heat the water in a pot and pour in the milk and cornmeal mixture in a thin stream.
Add the salt and cook the soup over medium-low heat for 18 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Melt the butter in a separate pan and brown the minced beef for 7 minutes until crumbly.
Add the black pepper and red pepper flakes to the beef and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Adjust the soup's consistency with 1 cup of hot water and boil for 2 more minutes.
Ladle the pum pum soup into bowls, drizzle the beef butter over the top, and serve.
💡 Tip: Whisk the cornmeal with cold milk first; if it goes straight into boiling water, it clumps and the soup loses its smooth texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve pum pum soup as a winter starter with minced beef butter on top, optional pickles, and cornbread.
