Bring home the taste of your local Ramen or Pho joint to your house.

Super easy to make, the taste comes across very authentic and yet familiar.

Its a pretty healthy soup as well, light, low residue, low calorie, yet very filling!

You can add green onions or Chinese vegetables such as Bok Choy, and even substitute them for the shrimp if you want to make it more vegetarian/vegan friendly.

I played around with this recipe and used chicken instead of shrimp, and it came out great as well.

If you want it a little heavier, add some soy or hoisin to the broth.

Omit the spice, and the kids loved it! Huge hit for the whole family and really quick to make.
