Healthy Ramen Noodle Soup
Love Ramen Noodles, but not excited about all the fat, sodium, MSG and other unknown ingredients in the popular package? Here's a simple and healthy version you will enjoy!
Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable broth your choice, read label for gluten-free
- 1/2 package frozen carrots & peas
- 2 blocks millet & brown rice ramen noodles
Instructions
-
Pour vegetable broth of your choice in a medium sized saucepan.
Possible choices, broth in a carton, bouillon cubes or base. For cubes, use one cube for every 2 cups water. For base, use one teaspoon for each cup of water.
-
Bring broth to a boil and add frozen vegetables. Simmer at a slow boil for 4 minutes.
-
Add two blocks of ramen noodles and continue to cook at a slow boil for an additional 4 minutes until noodles are tender, but still chewy. Don't overcook or they'll get mushy.
Recipe Notes
Here's the label from Chicken Flavored Ramen noodles. Yikes, look at the amount of sodium and fat! And that list of ingredients has a bunch of unknowns. 
Now compare with the ingredients in this healthy version!
While the total calories per serving are similar, the sodium in the healthy version is only 165 mg compared to 910 mg for the pre-packaged. I prefer recognizing all the ingredients too, so I will choose this healthy version any day! Try it - you'll like it! 😉
