Spicy Ramen-Style Chicken Soup

Soup warms us when we’re cold, and helps us feel better when we’re sick. When you prepare my spicy ramen-style chicken soup, you can experience new flavors, and still enjoy a classic comfort.

Elevate Your Soup-Making Beyond Opening A Can

In 1962, at the suggestion of a friend, Andy Warhol turned the Campbell’s soup can into a work of art.

What began as one work of art became a collection, and made the already familiar label into something iconic.

To some, it spoke of the growing acceptance of consumer culture.

For too many people, the idea of making soup at home begins and ends with heating up something from a can.

As our consumer culture has advanced, we’ve embraced this ease and convenience at the sacrifice of taste, comfort, and nourishment.

It’s time for a change.

Soup-making is neither difficult nor complicated.  And can be one of the most quick and satisfying approaches to the evening meal.

What’s the best-known soup around?

Chicken noodle.

So try my Spicy Ramen-Style Chicken soup.

Looking to ramen for kitchen inspiration means incorporating spices and other ingredients to keep your tastebuds interested.

Additions like Sriracha and jalapeno add a welcome heat that stimulates your palate, and delivers an extra bit of warmth.

This homemade ramen-style soup can boast more flavor, and provide you with a more nourishing meal than something you find on store shelves.

You can even retain the convenience of a packaged product by making extra, and freezing what you don’t eat for ready-made meals later.

Enjoy the Perks of Homemade Meals

If you rely on packaged products for your soups you’re losing out on precious nutrients, while consuming more preservatives and salt.

Don’t sacrifice nutrition or accept the myth that you can save money or time by leaning on soup in a can, pre-packaged meals, or dining out.

In reality, dedicating time to cooking your own meals can be good for your wallet and your health, while also giving you a chance to experiment with recipes, and create something that perfectly suits your taste buds (2).
