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.
