This classic Irish Oatmeal Leek soup also known as Brotchán Roy, traditionally served during Lent. I love the creamy texture of a hearty bowl of oatmeal soup – total comfort food!
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp whipped butter
1 1/2 cups 3 large leeks, white and pale green only, halved lengthwise, sliced thin
1/2 cup Irish steel cut oats, Use Bob”s Red Mill gluten free oats for GF
4 cups fat-free reduced sodium chicken broth, vegetarians use vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
fresh cracked pepper to taste
2 tbsp fresh chives for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat; add the leeks.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are soft, about 15 minutes.
Add the broth and milk; raise heat to high and bring to a boil.
Add the oatmeal and fresh cracked black pepper to taste.
Return to a boil, stirring occasionally; reduce heat to low.
Cover and simmer gently until oats are tender, 45-50 minutes (less if using Quaker oats).
