Oatmeal Mixed Vegetable Soup

Oatmeal mixed vegetable soup is a healthy and nutritious way of consuming lot of vegetables and oatmeal. I made the vegetable stock at home using onion, garlic, green chillies, carrot, celery, cinnamon and star anise. You can even use the store bought low sodium vegetable broth instead of making from scratch.

Tomato - 1/3, finely chopped

Method of Preparation:1. Heat the oil in a saucepan and add all the vegetables except the tomatoes to it.

2. Fry for 2 minutes and add the vegetable stock to it. Add in the chopped tomatoes.

3. Add the oatmeal and let the soup boil.

4. Add the salt, vinegar, chilli powder, mint powder and mix well.

5. Once the soup starts boiling, mix the corns starch with couple of spoons of water and mix it into the soup on medium low heat.
