Emma A winter warmer – Oatmeal Soup
Just back from the island of Arran at the weekend, and my Arran Fayre book fell out of the bookcase – so it was a sign to have a look and make something from it. Having a bundle of onions ready to walk out the door, this Scottish Oatmeal Soup Recipe was an apt meal to make.
It’s a velvety, warming oatmeal soup made from simple ingredients which could be pimped up in any way by the addition of peas, carrots, chicken, ham… the list is endless. Think of it like a Scottish risotto or congee.
