My son loves ramen. When I told him I was making a ramen soup he just looked at me. I did a lot of research on this subject and realize it is a soup that basically comes from what you have in the pantry. I bought the key ingredients from 2-3 recipes and then used what I had. The noodles are authentic ramen not the package that my son eats, although it would turn out just as well I believe. This is a good soup I will be making it again but with shrimp, or fish, or chicken. The list is endless. I do recommend to use homemade stock.
