TOASTY OATMEAL VEGETABLE SOUP

1 cup rolled oats (not quick-cooking or instant)
1 Tbsp. canola oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 to 3 cloves of garlic (to taste),finely minced
1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
1 carrot, diagonally cut into 1/4-inch slices
6 cups fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, toast raw oatmeal, 
stirring constantly, until oatmeal is lightly browned, about 3 to 5 
minutes. (Oatmeal burns easily, so watch carefully.) Immediately 
transfer oatmeal to a small bowl and set aside.

In large pot, heat oil until hot. Add onion, reduce heat to medium 
and, stirring frequently, saute onion until soft and pale gold.

Add garlic and continue sauteing a few minutes more. Do not allow 
onion or garlic to burn.

Add vegetables and broth. Bring soup to a boil. reduce heat to a 
simmer and cook about 10 minutes.

Add oatmeal. Simmer 2 minutes more, or until oatmeal is tender. Add 
parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Makes 6 servings
