Meal Replacer Oats Soup

Serves: 4 persons

Time:  20-25 mins

Ingredients

½ cup oat flour (blended oats at home until smooth) 

½ cup celery finely chopped 

½ cup yellow pepper diced

½ cup carrot diced 

1 cup broccoli florets (small size)

1 bug clove of garlic finely diced 

1 red small onion finely diced 

⅓ cup orzo pasta ( specially good for picky kids because they like pasta) optional to use 

1 tsp ground black pepper 

salt to taste

For the Garnish

2 tbsp of fresh coriander, finely chopped 

2 tbsp fresh parsley finely, chopped

Method

  • Make your oat flour by blending the rolled oats in a coffee grinder or any high speed blender until smooth. Keep aside. 
  • In a deep pot,sprinkle some water and let it sizzle. Now add the garlic and onions. Stir until translucent. 
  • Now add all the remaining veggies. Stir for ⅔ minutes. 
  • Now add the oat flour and stir until well combined. Stir for 5 min to help the flour to roast a bit. Now  add the pepper and salt. 
  • Now add veggie broth or plain water and stir. Now add the orzo and cook for 5/7 minutes or until the rose looks done. 
  • Turn the heat off. Stir one last time before serving garnish with fresh herbs. 

Tips:

Add hot sauce or soya sauce if you find it too bland. But for me it’s best as is.
