Left-over chicken or beef (save broth or juices in refrigerator)
2 lg. or 4 med. potatoes, peel and cube
1 med. to lg. onion, chopped
1/3 c. millet
1/3 c. lentils
1/3 c. green split peas
1/3 c. barley
1/3 c. brown rice
16 oz. pkg. frozen mixed vegetables
Salt and pepper to taste
Extra broth as needed

In a very large pot, put the 5 grains with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover and under a VERY LOW heat simmer for 30 minutes. Be sure the grains don't stick to the bottom.

Remove broth or juices from the refrigerator and remove the fat that has solidified on top. Pour over grains. Add cut up meat, potatoes, onions, salt, pepper and frozen vegetables.

Add extra can or cans of broth to make desired consistency.

Cook over a low heat after covering. May again add extra broth if desired.

I put extra in jars as this makes a large quantity then give to our children or friends - or freeze.

If freezing, be sure to leave an inch of air space for expansion.
