Gluten Free – Millet Soup Recipe

Ski Roundtop, PA
This Amazing Sunset Soup is my favorite soup recipe. It is a perfect dish for those who need gluten or wheat free recipes. Instead of noodles the carb is a good-for-you grain that is gluten free. Millet is nutrient dense and has a nice nutty flavor. This soup will warm you up on a cold snowy day. Millet is an often overlooked grain that is rarely found in the US kitchen. Millet can be substituted in any soup recipe, pilaf or grain dish for a gluten free recipe or for a flavor change.
