BRUSSELS ONION SOUP

We had the Carmel Brussels at Christmas and for New Year I made another soup to finish up the fresh vegetables in the fridge.

CARMEL BRUSSELS

In this soup I began with the carmelised onions.

1 medium sized onion
Olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoon of honey
12 brussels sprouts
2 potatoes
4 medium sized carrots
1 tablespoon of soya sauce.
Rock salt and black pepper to taste
Medium sized pan of water
2 tablespoons of Oats

Cover a dish with the oats and a tablespoon of honey mixed in thoroughly. Put the oats in the oven to roast. While the oats are cooking prepare your soup.

Slice a medium sized onion and saute in the olive oil - soya sauce and chopped garlic.

When cooked had your sliced brussels sprouts. The potatoes and carrots chopped with the other tablespoon of honey. Rock salt and black pepper to taste.

When the ingredients are soft enough to mash - include some of the oats from the oven and it will thicken the soup in a delicious and healthy way. I find that the oats give a soup body - like when you include pearl barley into a soup.

Just keep on including the oats one spoonful at a time - stir - taste - until you like it. You can also include some more soya to suit your taste buds.

I didn't put all the oats in the soup. I shall keep those for a different dish or maybe have them with breakfast. They would be lovely with a banana and yoghurt. If the oven is on - you might as well make enough for another day.

The soup was accompanied with small homemade flat breads like little nan.
