Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded Can use rotisserie or poached chicken
  • 4 cups chicken broth Use low-sodium if preferred
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 oz ramen noodles Regular or instant ramen can be used
  • 1 cup heavy cream Gives the soup a rich and creamy texture
  • 1 cup baby spinach Can substitute with other greens if desired
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms Any variety can be used
  • 2 green onions, chopped For garnish and flavor
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce Can use low-sodium soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
  • soft-boiled eggs
  • sesame seeds
  • additional green onions

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by shredding your cooked chicken and setting it aside. Chop the green onions, mince the garlic and ginger, and slice the mushrooms.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth and water, then bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the shredded chicken and soy sauce.
  3. Add the ramen noodles to the pot and let them cook according to package instructions (usually about 3-4 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Once the noodles are cooked, lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, sliced mushrooms, and baby spinach. Allow everything to simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
  1. Ladle the creamy chicken ramen soup into bowls, top with chopped green onions, and if desired, add a soft-boiled egg for a delightful finishing touch.

Notes

For meal pairing, consider serving with crusty bread or a fresh side salad. Substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option.
