My family grew up poor, and when I went out on my own, my crappy jobs and other circumstances have always kept me poor. Just my lot in life, I guess. One of the main reasons I haven't starved to death yet is the wonderful, cheap-as-sin block of freeze-dried noodles, the ramen. Read more Ah, I love this food, otherwise known as "crackhead soup" because my junkie ex-roommate introduced me to it. As some might know, I recently came into serious financial problems and have had to revert back to my basic survival habits. What better way to eat healthy on a dime and keep your belly warm than with soup? So yeah, expect a lot of soup recipes to follow this one. See less
Ingredients
- 1 Package of chicken or chicken and mushroom ramen noodles shopping list
- 1 cube of chicken Bullion shopping list
- About 1 1/2 to 2 Cups water shopping list
- 1 egg, scrambled shopping list
- About 1 1/2 Cups of whatever frozen or leftover vegetables you might have. My nephew's father calls this an "ojo", or a pot of soup you get rid of all your leftovers in. I used about 1/2 Cup chopped leeks, a half a bag of frozen winter veggies and a handful of dill. shopping list
- 1/2 the flavor packet the ramens come with. It's loaded with salt and msg so I don't like to use the whole thing... or at all if I can help it. Eating too much of that crap is what messed up my taste buds to begin with! shopping list
How to make it
- Boil the water and drop the noodles in. After a few minutes when the noodles begin to break apart, toss in the veggies, including any leeks or onions you have. Stir often to make sure the noodles remain submerged.
- Add 1/2 the flavor packet, saving the rest for later. Break the bullion cube up in your hand first if possible. If not, toss it in there and stir until the cube has melted.
- Add the scrambled egg and stir. Scrape the bottom of the pot to make sure the egg doesn't stick.
- If you're using dried herbs, toss them in around the same time as the veggies. If they're fresh, add them about 2 minutes before the soup is ready to serve.
- Allow to boil until everything is done, about 10 minutes.
- Pour into a large bowl or two smaller ones, and enjoy your crackhead soup, v. 2.0!
