Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

one lb fresh cooked peeled deveined small shrimp
one half c sliced green cabbage
one half c chinese snow peas
one half c sliced fresh mushrooms
one half c green onions sliced
one half c bean sprouts, fresh
3 pkg oriental flavored top ramen
8 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Put eight cups of water in large pot heating on medium heat just up to boil, then turn to low
  • 2. Take the three packages of ramen and remove the seasoning packets, setting the noodles aside and adding the seasoning packets to the water
  • 3. Take the mushrooms, the cabbage, and the green onions, slice them and add to water simmering on low approximately 10 min
  • 4. Take the shrimp, and the ramen, and add them to the pot, by now your soup should be filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma
  • 5. and the last step...I'll bet you thought I forgot. The secret ingredient, The bean sprouts. You add these last as you want them cooked but still crisp, just wash and toss them in. I might add, I never though i'd eat bean sprouts, but they give this soup an amazing flavor.
  • 6. The only seasoning I use is pepper to taste and I serve with soy sauce and people can add it if they like. There is plenty of salt in the ramen packets and combined with the natural flavors, You really don't need anything else.
  • 7. This soup is "souper" simple, the only thing to avoid overcooking it. I must admit times are approximate but close, I'm one of these cooks that everything is a pinch or a dash, and on timing it's when it looks/taste right. But this recipe is almost foolproof.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that the cooking process goes smoothly.
  • Choose Fresh Shrimp: Using fresh shrimp is key to making a delicious shrimp soup. Look for plump and firm shrimp with a clear, translucent appearance.
  • Clean the Shrimp Properly: Make sure to devein and peel the shrimp before cooking. This will remove any impurities and ensure that the shrimp is cooked evenly.
  • Use a Good Quality Stock: The stock is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality stock. You can use homemade stock or store-bought stock, but make sure it's flavorful and well-seasoned.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Add Vegetables for Extra Flavor: Vegetables add flavor and nutrients to the soup. You can add a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, and bok choy.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.
