If you don’t have any pork flavored Ramen on hand, beef works too

Ramen soup, it’s cheap, it’s a budget food, a single-person’s food, a plan ‘B’ food, a college dorm food, a don’t-know-what-else-to-have-so-this-will-have-to-do food…

Don’t just make it per the package instructions, liven things up!  And what a great way to use up some of those holiday ham leftovers…

Fire up the stove, heat up a sauce pan.  Throw in a tab of butter and some olive oil.  Next, rough chop some carrots and onions, throw them in the pan and let them cook a bit until they are tender crisp.  Toss in some of that leftover ham, chopped.  Grab a package of pork flavored Ramen soup (beef actually works too), put it in the pan with 2 cups of water. Add some garlic powder, a dash of black pepper, a dash of Louisiana hot sauce, a couple liberal dashes of Soy or Teriyaki sauce and 3 minutes later you’ve got a great bowl of soup!  Enjoy!  Other great adds to make your soup more robust with flavor is peas and/or mushrooms.
