It only takes a few minutes to bring it to the table. Once the cereal has been cooked over low heat until soft and fluffy, simply divide it into individual bowls and enjoy, according to your taste, hot or at room temperature. The result will be a flavorful and creamy soup, perfect for serving with your favorite ingredients for a quick yet satisfying lunch.

What to Put in Oatmeal to Make It Savory?
For a healthy, well-balanced meal that provides the body with the right amount of macronutrients, we've enriched the porridge with hard-boiled eggs, avocado slices, tomato wedges, and mixed oily seeds. But if you prefer, you can add whatever you have at home to the porridge, such as diced provola cheese, smoked salmon, pre-cooked legumes, grilled vegetables, Taggiasca olives, desalted capers, tuna fillets in brine, and more.
Depending on the desired consistency, you can add more or less liquid during cooking. For a pleasantly aromatic note, you can spice it up with a sachet of ground saffron, a pinch of turmeric, curry powder, or a little smoked paprika. You can also enrich it with tomato puree for a sauce version.
