Threw everything into my crock pot this morning, adding the entire jar of tomato paste and a few extra frozen veggies with enough broth to fill the pot. The resulting soup was thick and creamy from the cooked millet, which takes on the taste of the rest of the dish. Served with sweet cornbread for a complete meal that even my 14yo DS enjoyed. Makes a ton, probably 6-8 servings - looking forward to the leftovers.
