Ingredients

  • Vegetables (choose a few):

  • Carrots (a handful, sliced thin)
  • Cabbage, sliced thin (about a half cup)
  • 1/4 chopped small (about 1/4 cup)
  • Onions
  • Scallions
  • Anything else you like in soup
  • Ham
  • Beef
  • Chicken
  • Pork
  • 2-3 2-3 2-3 shrimp, chopped small
  • Cheese (not traditional, but delicious)
  • A soft-boiled egg
  • Togarashi

Preparation

Step 1

Boil water in a saucepan. How much water depends on how much broth you want. My family likes a lot of noodles and less broth, so we do about a cup and a half per packet.
Add the vegetables, and cook until soft. Add the flavorings now.
Add the noodles, and cook until tender.
Serve, garnishing with a soft-boiled egg, scallions, cheese, or whatever your heart desires.
