RE: January is Oatmeal Month

Would you believe I make Oatmeal Soup. I was trying to think of a way to eat oatmeal without sugar and I decided to try cooking it in chicken bouillon (or broth) with garlic powder. Sometimes I add mushrooms and sometimes I add green beans. But I usually don't add anything but the garlic powder. My son loves oatmeal and was afraid to try it....when he tasted it, he loved it!!! I like it cooked thick (like regular oatmeal) or thin (soupy). I'd be curious if anyone else has tried this :)
