Made this for lunch today and I did cut the water down to about 3 1/2-4 cups (used chicken broth not water) and added some chile sauce and a few left over peas. Served with some french bread and it made for a tasty dish. Thank you. Made for Zaar Alphabet Soup tag game 2010.

This was pretty darn good soup for ramen! I used a small can of chicken which I could have used two cans, I only added 3 cups water and I threw in some chopped cialantro and chile sauce. Next time I will make more as it went fast but I would probably double the noodles if I use 6 cups water. Thanks!

This recipe is delicious! I'm a college student, so it's a great way to eat cheap. In addition to the vegetables listed, I added mushrooms, spinach, peas, and corn. Instead of the chicken I added two cans of tuna along with the juice, which I find gives the soup more flavor. The soup tasted a bit bland, so I added curry powder, ground red pepper (all about 1/2 tsp. I think), and a bunch of Sriracha hot chili sauce (4 tablespoons? maybe more, maybe less), which you can find at all Asian stores and most regular grocery stores. I also added a spice called Fardosi from Saudi Arabia, but that might be difficult to get one's hands on. Delicious!!!

Fabulous, especially considering how little effort goes into this. I did a small amount of tinkering, but not anything that would change the flavor of this dish, and we loved it anyway, so it gets 5 stars. I used 2- 10 oz cans of canned chicken breast (Valley Fresh is the brand, I think) instead of the deli chicken, and poured the liquid contents of the cans in as well. I added an extra cup of water, and used 2 packages of ramen noodles with their seasoning packets. Everybody ate it, The Picky One had seconds. I will most definitely make this again! Thanks! :)
