There’s something magical about a steaming bowl of ramen. The way the broth warms you from the inside out, the noodles curl perfectly around your chopsticks, and the toppings add color and crunch — it’s the kind of meal that makes an ordinary day feel a little more special.
This Veggie Ramen Soup is my answer to those nights when I’m craving comfort but also want something fresh, colorful, and easy to put together. The first time I made it, my husband walked in, saw the spread of toppings — soft-boiled eggs, bok choy, mushrooms, chili oil — and said, “Wow, this looks like takeout from a ramen shop.” That was the moment I knew I’d nailed it.
The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility. You start with a simple, savory broth and tender noodles, then make it your own with toppings and mix-ins. Whether you’re a spice-lover who douses everything in chili oil, or you prefer mild flavors with extra veggies, this ramen adapts to you.

FAQs
Can I make this vegan?
Yes! Skip the egg and use vegetable broth for a fully plant-based ramen.
What noodles work best?
Classic instant ramen works, but you can also use soba, udon, or even zucchini noodles for a low-carb version.
How do I store leftovers?
Store broth and noodles separately if possible to prevent sogginess. Broth lasts 4 days in the fridge, noodles 2 days.
Can I freeze ramen soup?
Freeze the broth (without noodles or soft veggies) for up to 2 months. Add fresh noodles and toppings when reheating.

Ingredients
- 6–8 oz baby portobello mushrooms (or mixed mushrooms), sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (adjust spice level as desired)
- 4 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
- 1–2 teaspoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha (plus more to taste)
- 1–2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (adjust to taste)
- 4 oz uncooked ramen noodles
Optional Toppings (mix and match!)
- Fresh cilantro
- Julienned carrots
- Spiralized zucchini

- Snow peas or snap peas
- Edamame (shelled and cooked)
- Bean sprouts
- Thinly sliced jalapeño or serrano peppers
- Soft-boiled eggs (omit for vegan)
- Garlic chili oil
- Tofu cubes
Instructions
- Prepare all vegetables and toppings before you start cooking—this soup comes together quickly.
- Heat avocado oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden and tender. Remove a handful to use as garnish later.
- Add sesame oil to the pot along with jalapeño slices and the white parts of the green onions. Cook for about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the broth, soy sauce, and Sriracha. Stir well and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer. If you’d like some toppings softened (like carrots or extra jalapeños), add them now to simmer until tender.
- Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles in a separate pot of boiling water according to package directions (fresh ramen cooks quickly, while dried noodles take about 3–4 minutes). Drain well.
- Add noodles to the broth and stir to combine. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or Sriracha as desired.
- Ladle into bowls, then top with reserved mushrooms, the green parts of the scallions, and any other toppings you love. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Yields 2 hearty ramen bowls.
- Fresh ramen noodles work beautifully here, but dried noodles are also great.
- For a heartier version, swap in chicken broth or add protein like tofu, shrimp, or shredded chicken.
