• At this stage, add Oats.

•  Mix it well and cook for 5 more minutes.

• Once you add the Oats, the whole mixture turns a bit thick. If needed add 1/2 cup of water to the mixture and keep stirring so that the Oats do not turn into lumps and these Oats are cooked well.
• Now add Pepper Powder, Sugar and Salt and heat for a minute.
• Finally add Milk and stir once and boil the mixture for a minute more. Do not overheat or cook this Soup mixture for more than 2 minutes once you add the Milk. You can skip the Milk if you want to by adding 1/2 cup of Water instead, but Milk provides better taste. See to it that the Oats Soup turns out to be sufficiently thin to your preference.

• Oats Vegetable Soup is now ready to serve.
• If needed garnish with Cilantro/Coriander Leaves.
