In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, flaxseed, water, and milk. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Reduce the heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened to a spoonable consistency.

Add the mixed berries, cinnamon, honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently and cook for 2-3 minutes until the berries are warmed through and release their juices.
4
Taste and adjust the sweetness or spice if desired. If the soup is too thick, loosen it with a splash of milk or water.

Ladle the warm soup into two bowls and serve immediately, optionally topped with a few extra berries.
