MUSHROOM MILLET SOUP

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tbsp butter (or olive oil)

3. Add in garlic and celery and cook for 1 more minute.
4. Add in mushrooms and saute for 1 minute.
5. Place top onto pot and keep covered for 5 mins. Check on mushrooms to make ensure they begin sweating (they should release most of their liquid).

8. Then cover with lid and reduce heat to low and simmer for 40 mins.
9. Soup will thicken up.
