Jodi's Notes:

I got this recipe from my step-mother. It is absolutely yummy. I had actually forgotten it until I saw a recipe on-line quite like it called Asian noodle soup. It's quick and easy.

A fun - and tasty - shortcut to wonderful soup! Have it on its own for a lovely lunch, or serve it as a starter for an Asian-flavored feast!

 

Directions

1
Put eight cups of water in large pot heating on medium heat just up to boil, then turn to low
2
Take the three packages of ramen and remove the seasoning packets, setting the noodles aside and adding the seasoning packets to the water
3
Take the mushrooms, the cabbage, and the green onions, slice them and add to water simmering on low approximately 10 min
4
Take the shrimp, and the ramen, and add them to the pot, by now your soup should be filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma
5
and the last step...I'll bet you thought I forgot. The secret ingredient, The bean sprouts. You add these last as you want them cooked but still crisp, just wash and toss them in. I might add, I never though i'd eat bean sprouts, but they give this soup an amazing flavor.
6
The only seasoning I use is pepper to taste and I serve with soy sauce and people can add it if they like. There is plenty of salt in the ramen packets and combined with the natural flavors, You really don't need anything else.
7
This soup is "souper" simple, the only thing to avoid overcooking it. I must admit times are approximate but close, I'm one of these cooks that everything is a pinch or a dash, and on timing it's when it looks/taste right. But this recipe is almost foolproof.

I'm sorry if I messed up, I must admit I'm still confused about exactly how this all works. I have many recipes, My main problem is Just like your name implies, "Just a Pinch", and that's how a cook, Just a pinch of this, a pinch of that.....So, to try to convert that to actual amounts is quite difficult. So, Please bear with me. I also have severe emphysema and COPD, So many of my recipes have had to be simplified to make them where I can still prepare them. Add to that cutting down to cooking for two, It's been a roller coaster of fun. I know I've gathered a lot of advice from this site, maybe I have something someone can fin useful as well.

I am going to make this but looking over the recipe I was a little confused. Is it really just 1/2 cup each of the vegetables? How many servings can you get from this soup? Does anyone have an idea on what to do with the rest of the bag of fresh bean sprouts?

Hello Joanne,
This will feed four smaller servings. If you have a hearty eater, two. If your feeding four and want to be sure,
just double it.

As far as left over bean sprouts, They are great in fried rice. You can do fried rice with your favorite meat, my fave is shrimp fried rice, but you can do chicken, pork, beef, even left over turkey or ham. I'll try to post a fried rice recipe sometime today, Or I'm sure one of the others has a great recipe.

Hope this helped. it's always better to have too much food, than leave someone wanting more.

Thank you for responding and I apologize for the late thank you. I don't know why I didn't think of the fried rice, we love it. I agree that it is better to have too much than not enough. There is just my husband and I and I still cook as if our sons were still home. I share various meals with them and we eat extra for lunch too.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who tried this soup. I apologize for not responding sooner, My health kind of controls my life, I get on when I can. I do however thoroughly enjoy this site and I do love to cook, I've had to simplify many recipes, but I won't give up cooking, I will probably die with a ladle in my hand. In any case, Thank You, I started to say Ladies, But I've seen many men on the site as well.
