Thai Ramen Pumpkin Soup

March 9, 2015

When my husband was unloading the groceries and saw a pack of ramen, work stopped for a line of questioning. The man knows his wife would not be one to eat packaged chicken ramen soup and was very curious to know why I would have possibly purchased it. Maybe there is a way to buy just ramen noodles (strictly ramen noodles, not the ramen noodle soup it has become shorthand for), but I could not find it at my grocery store.

And just as well because I can ditch the “seasoning” packet (I shutter) and just use the noodles in this flavorful thai soup.
