broth is basically water with flavoring. Easiest broth I've made is chicken (put chicken in pot with water and spices and boil over low heat for a couple of hours.) Porridge is crushed oats that are boiled. It can be oatmeal its just the prep is differnent that the oatmeal we know. End result is rather thick.
