Best 7 Creamy Oatmeal Soup Recipes

HEALTHY "TORTILLA SOUP" OATMEAL

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin and garlic powder, and cook, stirring, until the tomatoes start to soften and the tomato paste darkens in color, about 1 minute. Add the broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds pepper, and bring to a boil. Stir in the oats and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the oats are creamy and tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover and rest until the oatmeal thickens slightly, about 2 minutes (not all of the liquid will absorb).
• Transfer the oatmeal to four serving bowls. Scatter the sliced chiles and cilantro over the oatmeal. Divide the avocado among the bowls, and top with the crushed tortilla chips. Serve warm with a quarter of lime on the side.

CREAM OF BROWNED POTATO AND OATMEAL SOUP

Steps:

• Remember, oatmeal is a grain, and like barley, makes a good soup ingredient.
• I am a "dump cook" (I seldom measure, especially for soups) so these are approximates. Soups are not an exact science necessarily, so just use good sense (i.e. if you need more water, add it, if you like more potatoes, add them).
• Brown the potatoes and onion together in the oil, like you are making hash browns (I use a cast iron skillet).
• Place the browned potatoes and onions in a large soup pot, cover with ample water (about two inches above the potato mixture. Set to boil. While the soup is heating up, mix in the cooked oatmeal (about 2 cups). Make sure to break up any of the globs of oatmeal to make the mixture creamy.
• Over medium heat: Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Using a wire whisk, mix in the flour, then add one cup of milk. Cook and mix until thickened, then add to the soup.
• Let the soup cook on medium-low heat until done, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• You can leave this soup on simmer all day if you like, just add water or milk as it cooks down, to make sure it doesn't scorch.
• Vegan or Lactose-free Variation: Omit the white sauce (the soup is creamy enough without it).
• Variations: If you would like more vegetables, add chopped celery and grated carrots to the mixture when browning the potatoes.
• Garnish each bowl of soup with grated cheese, bacon bits, or chives (optional).

• All of my grandchildren, 12, 8, and 6 liked this soup, as did my 31-year old vegan son and his friend, and my 82-year-old father.
