Millet Soups
Cooking millet soup can be very
interesting and at the same time very easy. Millet is very small grain so it
usually easily cooked in large quantites of water. First you should decide what
bowl to use. It is easy - any bowl you would use to cook regular soup will work.
It takes about 30 minutes for millet to be ready. Depending on what other soup ingridiensts
(like meat) you may decide to add millet later so it will not overcook.
But as with cooking other soups the area for experimentation with different
ingridients and flavors is wide open. It is also can be a great idea for cooking
soup with kids. Allow them to select and add the ingridients but remember that
as with other cooking, there are many hot things arond. Keep you kids away from
any hot object.
One of interesting techniques to
add extra nutty smell is to fry dry millet in the pan. It will also add more
golden yellow color to the soup.
