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.
Switch off the heat and garnish with cinnamon powder and chopped green onions.

Honestly I have never tried a savory oatmeal but it makes sense! I love pepper too and would probably go heavy on that!. This sounds really filling and inexpensive too!

I've never heard of this! But, like with grits, I bet oats are amazing savory as well as sweet. Interesting flavor combination - I think I might have to try this!

What a creative idea! I've never thought about putting oatmeal in soup before, but I use it in veggie burgers all the time as a binding agent, so I imagine it's a great way to thicken up soup.

I love seeing savory recipes for oatmeal. It's one of the most readily available whole grains, it's so easy to cook, almost everyone already has it in the pantry, and almost everyone already likes it!
Your seasoning combination looks wonderful.

This is definitely a new ideas for me but one I truly like. I love eating oatmeal but yes, it gets kinda of boring eating the same oatmeal recipe everyday. Will definitely have to try yours, as I wouldn't give up on this healthy grain for beans... Lol!!

Yess. I never never thought of doing oatmeal like this. I also love the use of coconut oil. And coconut milk makes everything taste better. Thanks for sharing
Marlynn Jayme Schotland
Like so many other commenters, I am highly intrigued! I've never heard of oatmeal soup but I bet it's satisfying!
Heather
What a clever idea! I never thought of turning oatmeal into a soup before! I love the idea of using coconut milk in almost everything, so this is right in my recipe wheel house! Looking forward to trying this out!
Uma Raghupathi
Thank you Heather! I know after many years of eating oats last month I decided to make oats soup. It turned out very good and my whole family loves it!
Stephanie@ApplesforCJ
This is such a grand idea. I've never heard of Oatmeal in soup but it sounds and looks really good especially with the seasonings you've used. Look forward to trying this recipe soon 🙂
Uma Raghupathi
Thanks:) Hope you will like this too:)

Loving this savory oatmeal recipe. I've never had it in soup, but the flavors sounds incredible. I bet our family would love this on a cold winter night. This sounds incredibly filling and full of flavor, yum!

Oatmeal soup? I have been making soups for years and I take great pride in trying new things. But I have never made soup with oatmeal. Given how much I love porridge (and how thick it is) then it would make sense to use oats in soup. Also, love the use of ginger, my favorite!

This has got to be the most interesting recipe I have read all week! Why have I never heard of oatmeal soup? We love oatmeal in our family, so it's always a part of our pantry. I'm most certainly going to give this dish a try - oh, and cinnamon too! Wow. I'm seriously excited. LOL

Wow I've never used Oatmeal like this before but it does sound really really good! I've got plenty of coconut milk right now so perfect way to use it!

I am so intrigued by this recipe! I love the idea of using coconut milk. I'm really looking forward to trying oatmeal soup!
Uma Raghupathi
Thank you Amy! I really like to hear from you 🙂
Sarah @ Champagne Tastes
I've never ever heard of this! What a neat idea- It makes sense because I love using barley in soup. Have you ever tried 'oatmeal milk'? I bet you could use that instead of coconut milk too. I'll have to try this!
Uma Raghupathi
Yes I used oat milk. My family likes coconut flavor. So I added coconut milk:) please try this with oat milk, and let me know how it turned out:) Thanks!
