Soups Thickened With Oatmeal! Creamy And Healthful, Too

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

You don’t need butter or flour to make soup thick and creamy. Instead, stir in a cupful of rolled oats or quick oats, and cook for 20 minutes or more. Then whirl a hand blender in the pot to make the soup smooth and extra creamy. Try this in the delicious recipes below, or invent your own.
