Bulgur wheat and whatever veggies you have on hand + whatever spices you fancy.
Throw in 2 cups or so of the wheat, add your spices and the harder vegg (like carrots or mushrooms). Add water so it's about 2/3 of the pot (you can add more if it's not enough when cooking). Boil. Add softer vegg (like broccoli) after it's reduced some if you want, or throw it in at the start if you don't mind it falling apart. I usually add an egg once it's cooked, but it's not necessary; I just need the protein.
Sorry I don't have anything more specific, I do all my cooking by feel.
AFAICT I can only get bulgur wheat at one bulk store in my city, none of the 'big box' stores carry it. You might also try smaller shops that cater to middle eastern communities.
I've never heard of this, but I'll keep an eye out. I wonder if steel cut oats would work? I eat a lot of vegetable soups these days. Thanks for the advice.
Steel cut oats work well with veg. They can be a little sticky, go easy on the water because vegetables release water, and don't really stir, treat them more like brown rice rather than porridge. (I don't have a rice cooker so I do mine at half power in the microwave so I don't have to worry about burning the bottom.) And add a little butter/marge at the end.
