When my husband was unloading the groceries and saw a pack of ramen, work paused for some inquiry. He knows his wife would not be one to typically eat packaged noodles 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 and just use the noodles in this flavorful soup during autumn.
