Frequently asked questions

Should the soup be sweet or savory?
Either is possible. The recipe lets you season with either sugar or salt as you like.
Why is the flour stirred out in cold water first?
Stirring the oat flour smoothly into cold water before the boiling water is added prevents lumps in the finished soup.
