Story

I'd have to say that this is one of the most unusual soup recipes I've ever made. It may be similar to some old farm house recipes in which oatmeal, a very common household staple, was used just as much as a filler and thickener for soups and casseroles as it was for a breakfast food. Simply put, when you're making vegetable soup, throwing in a bit of oatmeal just makes the soup thick and creamy. It's not a bad way to stretch a meal and fill those tummies up!
