Cheat's Ramen
This is not a traditional ramen. It's quick, full of flavor, and a great way to use the veggies you have in the crisper. It's nutritious, full of flavor, and really satisfying. You can buy bone broth for this, but homemade bone stock makes this so much more delicious.

Cornersmith's tips
You can add whatever you like to the top of this soup. Boiled eggs add some extra protein, but you could also add some shredded chicken, or some thinly sliced crumbed chicken. You could add some sautéed beef or grilled tofu.
