Oatmeal soup with prunes is an ancient Russian dish that combines simplicity and an amazing harmony of flavors. Oatmeal, known for its nutritional properties, acquires a tender, velvety texture in this recipe thanks to butter. Prunes add a pleasant sweet-sour note, enriching the soup's flavor with depth and softness. This soup was popular in Russian villages, especially in winter when hearty and warming food was needed. It can be served as a standalone dish or as an addition to breakfast, providing vigor and energy for the whole day. Besides its gastronomic value, this soup is beneficial for digestion and rich in fiber, making it an excellent choice for a healthy diet.
