Steps:
- Lightly toast millet over medium heat until it smells nutty (about 2 minutes).
- Add milk and water, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for around 25 minutes, until most or all liquid is absorbed.
- Meanwhile place cream and white sugar into a small bowl and whisk until frothy or you can put in a jar and shake.
- Add brown sugar and maple syrup when the cereal is cooked to your desired consistency and stir to combine, transfer to a bowl.
- Pour frothy cream over the top and enjoy!
- Tips: I also like to add a little butter, nutmeg, and cinnamon or you can use white sugar, skip the maple and add fresh berries (or any fresh fruit), strawberries and cream millet sounds just as yummy :D.

Tips:
- Choose the right millet: For a creamy and flavorful soup, use hulled or semi-hulled millet. Whole millet has a chewier texture and may require longer cooking time.
- Rinse the millet thoroughly: This helps remove any dirt or debris and prevents the soup from becoming gritty.
- Toast the millet before cooking: Toasting enhances the millet's flavor and gives the soup a nutty aroma. Heat a pan over medium heat, add the millet, and stir continuously for 3-4 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so make sure to use a good-quality broth that you enjoy the taste of. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water if you prefer.
- Add vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, onions, garlic, spinach, or kale. Sauté the vegetables in a pan with some olive oil before adding them to the soup.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Cream of millet soup is a delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover millet, and it is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. With its creamy texture and flavorful taste, cream of millet soup is sure to become a favorite in your household.
