Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (3 ounce) chicken-flavored ramen noodles including seasoning packet
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 (4 ounce) can baby shrimp drained
  • 1 (14½ ounce) can chicken broth low-sodium preferred
  • 1½ cups frozen stir fry vegetables

Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. In a large saucepan, combine chicken broth, water, and frozen stir fry vegetables. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Partially break up the ramen noodles and add them to the boiling mixture.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 3-4 minutes until noodles begin to soften but still maintain some firmness.
  4. Stir in the drained baby shrimp and the ramen seasoning packet.
  5. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until everything is thoroughly heated through.
  6. Serve immediately while steaming hot.

Notes

For a spicier version, add a dash of sriracha or a spoonful of kimchi. You can substitute fresh or frozen shrimp for the canned variety - just ensure they're peeled, deveined, and cooked until pink. This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the noodles may absorb more broth over time.
For a more substantial meal, try adding a soft-boiled egg on top or serving with a side of crispy vegetable gyoza.
