Ramen Soup-Make it Healthful
A Package of Ramen Soup
Soup Recipes: Ramen Made Healthful
Those little packages of Ramen soup that you eat when you are in a hurry or there is nothing else to fix--why not add some healthy ingredients. This packaged soup has become a staple in many homes, and can be a staple for college students on a strict budget. It is cheap and filling--two important ingredients for those watching the pennies. Being of healthy conscious spirit, I figured out some ways to make this quick, easy and cheap soup have a little more substance. My husband loves anything with noodles in it so I was motivated to make Ramen soup a bit healthier. I made some changes in the preparation of the soup, and we enjoy a lunch with this recipe a few times a week, and I don't feel guilty about not getting enough veggies in our diet.
How To Make Ramen Soup
For you Ramen novices out there, preparing this soup is as easy as putting in two cups of water in a pot, waiting for it to boil, and adding the noodles and the little sodium filled packet. The soup is ready to eat in about 3 minutes after coming to a boil. Ramen comes in a variety of flavors: chicken, shrimp, beef and oriental (not sure about that one). If you just want a quick and filling lunch you may stop here and have lunch for less than 20 cents. However lets create a nutritious lunch and eliminate the sodium filled packets of imitation flavors.
