Notes

  • Discard the seasoning packets from instant ramen to control sodium levels.
  • Add mushrooms, carrots, or corn for extra vegetables.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the cream with coconut milk.
  • Soft-boiled eggs make an excellent topping.
  • If the broth thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth while reheating.
