Happy, Healthy, Homemade Ramen


That's right, homemade ramen.  I was in the Asian food section of my local Fry's grocery store when I came across organic, wheat ramen. Sounded interesting to me, so I bought a pack.  It happened several days later I had food poisoning and was unable to eat solid type food for a couple days.  So, I made soup....ramen soup.  It doesn't look a bit like the ramen you are used to buying in the store, it was better, sooooooo much better and very, very, very simple.  So here is my feature presentation:


                                                         Sara's Simple Ramen Soup

1/2 onion, chopped
2  carrots, quartered and chopped
2 stalks of celery, halved and chopped
5 cups of chicken broth (or beef broth, or vegetable broth)
one bundle of ramen noodles (organic wheat)

In a medium pot, boil ramen noodles in water as directed on the package.

In another pan, saute onion in 2 tbsps of oil or butter until soft and fragrant.  Add carrots and celery.  When they are soft add the broth and cooked ramen noodles and simmer on low for 15 minutes.  As salt and pepper as needed. 

That's it!!!!  You could also shred a rotessiere chicken for more flavor and punch and other vegebables such as zucchini, peas, fresh green beans etc.  Have fun with it!
