Creamy Oat Milk Soup

Creamy Oat Milk Soup is a comforting, plant-based soup made by simmering rolled or steel-cut oats in a broth or water, then blending and enriching with oat milk for a velvety texture. It typically features savory aromatics like onion, garlic, and herbs, and can be seasoned with salt, pepper, and a touch of nutritional yeast. This dish is a modern, vegan-friendly take on traditional European oat-based porridges and soups, popular in health-conscious and dairy-free cooking circles.
