Tuesday 7.45pmA simple restorative soup for when you are all bunged up with flu and feeling miserable.
Like me.
Fry a chopped leek slowly in some butter and olive oil until soft, translucent and faintly golden brown, ten minutes at least. Add in a good handfull of rolled oats, stir about a bit and leave to cook for a few minutes. Pour in a pint and a quarter of chicken stock and simmer gently until the oats are cooked but still have some bite, mine took a bit over half an hour. Season and serve.
I had mine with croutons and a handfull of chopped parsley.

I have never heard of oatmeal in a soup but why not and if it made you feel better thats a good thing. Get well soon.
Thankyou - the original recipe is in A Caledonian Feast by Annette Hope.
Nicola thought it was ok but would have preferred barley.
