Vegetarian Noodle Soup

Soup is a great addition to any meal.  Most people invest in condensed soup, which is fine, but making your own soup is relatively easy.  I've recently taken to making this soup on the cold days, or when there isn't much food left in the cupboard.  While I'm not making it wholly from scratch, it does much for a much tastier soup than that which comes from a can.

Ingredients:

• 2 quarts vegetable broth
• 1/2 bag of frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 package of Ramen soup
• 3~4 handfuls of shrimp
• pepper
• garlic powder
• Oregano
• Rosemary (optional)

Equipment:

• 1 3 qt pot
• 1 ladel

Directions:

1. Bring the vegetable broth to a boil
2. Add the frozen vegetables and shrimp in slow increments, as to keep the water from cooling too much.
3. Once the vegetables and shrimp are thawed, add the spices to taste.
4. In the last few minutes of cook time, add the noodles from the Ramen soup package.
5. When the noodles are done, place on low heat.

The soups is now ready for consumption!  Serve it up in bowls with some crackers on the side, and you're ready to go!

Possible Alterations:
There are many possible things that can be played with to make this meal fun and exciting.  I've used mixtures of fresh carrots and celery with frozen peas and green beans before.  One could add cubed potatoes, or sliced okra to add some different textures, and to make it much more filling.  If you come up with any great or interesting twists, feel free to let me know!

Happy Gaming!
