Instant oat bran vegetable soup

Never thought that oat bran could make such a wonderful soup in 10 minutes! It almost makes a porridge. The oat bran has a rather nice chewy texture which goes very well with the canned cream of chicken. It's fast too. I made it with a steak, and thought that it might be too much. But my husband finished the entire bowl. He really liked it. That's how I get him to enjoy fiber---lots of vegetables in a juicy meat stock.
