Vegetable Orgy Stew

Hack up the following and drop it in a pot to simmer in olive oil: 

-onion 
-garlic 
-carrots 
-spinach 
-broccoli 
-cauliflower 
-green beans 
-peas 
 Didn't have any tomatoes, but I bet they'd be great, too. 
Oh, and don't be afraid to cheat -- many of these were (organic) frozen veg. :) 

Add: 
 - a couple handfuls of chopped, peeled potatoes 

Simmer it all in a broth made with: 
-a cube or two of whatever random (all-natural!) bouillon needed to be used up 
-sea salt 
-thyme 
-oregano & basil 
-rosemary 
-black pepper 
-arbol chili powder 
-dash of nutmeg 

After potatoes were cooked and the broth started to turn green from all that gardeny goodness, stir in: 
-a handful or two of fine-cut (instant) oats 

Give those 5 minutes or so to dissolve in there nicely, then gradually add: 
-1.5 cups very cold water, in which 1/3 c flour has been dissolved 

Let that simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken; then finally mix in: 
-a bit more olive oil 
-lots of shredded Parmesan. 

What a deliciously warm, savory, filling antioxidant bomb!
