Millet is wonderful. It is fabulous in soups. Here is a recipe from
Christina Pirello (a macrobiotic chef and teacher); she made this for us in
class last week, and I was in heaven. The millet lent the soup some
creaminess (but not like cream of wheat) but it also provided some texture.

Rinse millet by placing in a glass bowl and covering with water. Gently
swirl grain with your hands to loosen any dust. Drain well. In a soup pot,
layer onion, cabbage, squash, carrot and then millet. Add enough water to
just cover, careful not to disturb layering too much. Cover and bring to a
boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and cook soup for 30 minutes. Remove a
small amount of broth and puree the miso. Gently stir into the soup and
simmer for another 3-4 minutes. Serve garnished with fresh scallions.

She does use some oil, but it can be omitted in most recipes without a
problem.)
