Easy Shrimp Ramen Soup

This Easy Shrimp Ramen Soup is so much better than that packet of noodles!! Packed with vegetables, shrimp, and full of flavor!

I love quick and easy recipes! They are the backbone of Countryside Cravings! This shrimp ramen soup is definitely one of those quick and easy meals and it’s a reader favorite!

My other favorite quick and easy meals are Cheese Ravioli in Creamy Mushroom Sauce and Taco Pasta.

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 or for a 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.

And if you don’t want to grate your own ginger I like to buy these tubes of Stir-in Ginger Paste. So much easier!
