Dietary oatmeal soup
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Oatmeal diet soup is a great alternative to other first courses, perfect for diets or a detox day. Thanks to the perfect combination of vegetables, oatmeal, and butter, the finished dish turns out delicious. If you want to make the soup more filling, cook it in chicken broth. Use frozen or fresh vegetables (if in season). Serve the soup hot.

Step 1
1. This soup takes less than an hour to prepare and falls into the dietary category. If you're fasting, simply omit the oil. If you have time, you can cook it with chicken or turkey. The essential component is vegetables. Frozen vegetables work perfectly for the winter season. I usually freeze my own, but nowadays you can easily buy them in any supermarket. Use any vegetables you like. I use: cauliflower, green beans, bell pepper, and zucchini. First, peel the potatoes, chop them, bring to a boil, add salt, then add the remaining vegetables.

2. I had a 1.5-liter pot. For this amount of water, you'll need one and a half cups (150 g) of oats. There's no need to wash them. Add them after the vegetables are cooked.

3. I add the onion and carrot when all the other vegetables have already been cooking for a while. I don't sauté them. All the vegetables are added only raw.

4. When the oats start to "clump," the soup is almost ready. It takes about 10 minutes to cook after boiling.
