I mean, the last time I was simply improvising, but this recipe, it was made by someone who knew their stuff - admittedly! As well as being a savoury version of oat porridge, it is said to be good for the nervous system.
As I was cooking it, it smelt like noodles - I kid you not! And it tasted like it too, mmmm....
Delicious Oat Soup
(Serves 1)
1 tbsp (extra virgin) olive oil
1 small garlic clove, finely chopped or minced
25g oats
10g ground hazelnuts (I only had almonds, so I used that!)
300-400ml vegetable stock (non-veggies can use chicken stock instead if they want)
Salt to taste
Garnish: I didn't have hazelnuts at hand, so I topped it with some dried parsley and walnuts, don't say I'm not good to you nervous system!
- Start by heating up oil in a pan, add the garlic and oats and brown lightly, before adding the ground nuts. Stir for a minute of two before adding the stock.
- Simmer on low for about 5-10 minutes and stir occasionally. Pour in a little more water if necessary, mine dried up a little, so I added a good splash more, it all depends on the type of oat you are using!
- Add some salt to taste, and...that's it really! I can't believe it came out that tasty!

Wow, I have never tried a savory oat recipe. But I am always down to try a new soup recipe!
ReplyDeleteI once tried to make an "English breakfast" porridge years ago, and it was ridiculously horrible... This though, this I could have several days of the week, so good :D x
DeleteI'll admit I've not thought to make oats savory... but why not?? You have me totally intrigued!!
ReplyDeleteAwh thanks Kim! Give this a shot and let me know what you think :) x
DeleteBeautifully presented, Jules!! I've never had oat soup before - I didn't even know it was a thing haha! It looks easy enough so I'd love to give it a go! I know my hubs would love it plus it's getting colder in North Carolina - best weather for soup!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this recipe, Jules :)
This is a lovely post-dinner-almost-ready-for-bed-but-am-getting-hungry-again meal. It would be great for breakfast when you have a bit of time as well. I hope you get around to try it :) And that you like it, more importantly! xx
DeleteOi, for en spennende variant. Jeg har fått med meg at 'salt' havregrøt er populært, men har aldri prøvd det selv.
ReplyDeleteGod mandag!♥
Heisann du! Her i Skottland er det 50/50 med folk som har salt og søt havregrøt. Personlig liker jeg ikke den klassiske salte varianten, men denne her - den var snadder altså! Tror lille S hadde likt den også :) Lett og god for magehuset ^ ^
DeleteNam, dette ser og høres godt ut! Har aldri prøvd en slik variant. Takk for oppskriften!
ReplyDeleteHei Synne, og tusen takk skal du ha! Laget denne av det jeg hadde i hus, tror det er hvitløken og buljongen som gjør susen, håper du får muligheten til og prøve den, og ikke minst at det faller i smak :) x
DeleteOh wow! What a cool idea! Oat soup?! I'm in.
ReplyDeleteYeap! Simple, cheap, delicious and such a great alternative to sweet oatmeal ^ ^ Hope you enjoy it! x
