Oatmeal soup is very easy to cook. I tried a few options to make it creamy (like a bisque) instead of a watery soup. Of all the vegan options, coconut milk complements the flavor like none other.
while back I shared how excited I was to make Oatmeal Vegan cookies. I have also posted a recipe for Sambar Masala Oats. Today, I like to share an appetizing, Oatmeal Soup recipe that's perfect for a wintery day.
I also add a tad more black pepper than usual, to kick it up a notch. Oats are among the healthiest grains on earth. As you can see from my posts, there are several dishes you can prepare with this wonder food.
Apart from the health benefits, this soup is very easy to cook. I tried a few options to make it creamy (like a bisque) instead of a watery soup. Of all the vegan options, coconut milk complements the flavor like none other.
Try it today and I guarantee you will not regret it. Serve it hot with crushed tortilla chips or crackers.
How to make this recipe
Wash the oats and cook them in a pot with 2 cups of water. Add a little salt and one bay leaf and let it steep as the oats cook.
Place a vessel over medium heat and saute the crushed garlic in 1 tablespoon coconut oil. After about 30 seconds, add chopped green onions and cook for another minute.
Add chopped tomatoes and continue to saute it until the tomato softens.
Now add chili powder, black pepper powder, and cinnamon powder. Cook for two more minutes.
Add the cooked Oatmeal and one more cup of water and bring it to a boil. If you prefer a creamy texture, now is the time to add 1 cup of coconut milk and continue to boil.

I have to tell you Uma, when I read your article I actually made it and my mom and I love it! It is a fresh way to have oatmeal other than the regular breakfast style. The flavors work great together and the heat from the ginger and pepper really warm the body. Especially on this cold stormy day in San Diego! One thing I didn't really the recipe mentioning when to put the ginger.. I just put it in with the spices.
Thank you for your wonderful recipe.. I'm going to try a variation with curry mushrooms and zucchini.. any recommendations??
Uma Raghupathi
Hi Debi, Thank you very much for writing to me:) very glad to hear about how much you liked Oatmeal Soup:) There is one curry called mushroom masala which can be made with coconut milk base. I used to make zucchini Sambar which is from South India. But if you like something new variations with these veggies I am glad to help. Let me come up with new recipes....:) Thanks Debi!

What an interesting idea! I've had savory oats, but never considered putting them in a soup before. That looks amazing.
Daniela Anderson
Such an interesting recipe! I do love oats, and would have never thought of making a soup like this. I just love the idea of a hearty hot soup on such cold weather.
