This full flavored soup was a hit with my family and at a potluck I recently attended. Full of flavor, veggies and warmth. I enjoy that it is a semi-homemade recipe and anything goes. Add canned baby corn, bok choy, napa or regular cabbage, shitake mushrooms to make this more authentic to the Chinese soups served at restaurants. Top with crispy chow mein noodles & green onion. Simply tasty!

    30 minutes before serving remove roast and slice into bite size pieces and add back into slow cooker. Break up ramen noodles and add them to the slow cooker, cover and let cook for an additional 30 minutes to cook noodles through. Serve garnished with additional soy sauce if you like, chow mein noodles and green onions.
