Easy Shrimp Ramen Soup
Ok, how many of you ate ramen back in the day???? I’m raising my hand high!! It was a super fast and easy way to satisfy my craving for soup on a cold day. But have you ever read the back of the package??? YIKES!!
So, let’s ditch that seasoning packet since that’s where most of the bad stuff lives and beef it up with vegetables and shrimp!
Some more easy soup recipes to try: Easy Taco Soup, 30 Minute White Chicken Chili, and Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup.
My kids absolutely loved this soup and I love that they are NOT getting their daily allowance of sodium in one bowl since we are making this semi-homemade! And honestly, I think this tastes a whole lot better than that seasoning packet and it’s so much more satisfying!
It’s loaded with shrimp, vegetables, and the broth is packed with flavor. It’s the perfect bowl of soup for a chilly day. It’s a perfect quick lunch or dinner.
Spicy Shrimp Ramen Noodle Soup
And for all of you that like to spice things up…….no problem! Just add your favorite hot sauce to your bowl of soup like Sriracha, Tabasco, or even red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper will do the trick.
This soup doesn’t make a lot of broth as seen in the pictures so if you want more “soup” double the broth/stock you use, grated ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. You can also double the vegetables to add more bulk and flavor. There is plenty of shrimp in the soup already that you can get away with not doubling it.

This sounds so good! Ramen is an art form in Japan, and I think you might give the masters a run for their money!
Lol, I don’t know about that!! 😉 Thank you!!
Growing up in Rhode Island within walking distance of Rocky Point Park, we always got take out chowder from the Shore Dinner Hall the one that hung out over the river. That was a red broth chowder but definitely NOT Manhattan. It was basically Rhode Island clear broth chowder with, I think, tomato puree and paprika to color the broth red. I loved it because I didn”t like the looks of regular clear broth chowder. I think that you can still get it at the Rocky Point Chowder house that sets up in the Ann & Hope parking lot in Warwick. I now live in New Hampshire so I don”t get to eat it much anymore, but that was always my favorite chowder.
Love that this gave me my Ramen fix but without all that sodium and crap! Can’t wait to eat this all fall and winter!
YES! An easy way to make it a little healthier and still feel like you are eating Ramen!
Ramen Noodles can be so versatile, and this looks like a delicious dish! Going to have to try this!
Thank you! It makes a really quick lunch!
A winter hit with my picky son
