Oatmeal Vegetable Soup

Oatmeal vegetable soup is a clever way to include oats at lunch. The oats thicken the soup and add a gentle creaminess, making it filling without any cream.

Ingredients

• 30 g rolled oats
• 1 carrot
• 1 small onion
• 1/2 celery stalk
• 600 ml vegetable stock
• Fresh herbs to taste
• Salt and pepper to taste

2. Saute the onion in a dry non-stick pot for 2 minutes with a splash of water.
3. Add the carrot and celery and cook for 3 minutes.
4. Add the stock and bring to a boil.
5. Add the oats, reduce the heat and simmer for 12 minutes until the soup thickens slightly.
6. Season with salt, pepper and fresh herbs. Serve warm.
