Make Your Own Quick & Healthy Triple Mushroom Zoodle Ramen Soup

Who else is craving all the soup these days? Ramen soup has always been one of my favorite treats on a cold winter day. I mean, is there anything better than a hot bowl of veggies and noodles to warm you from the inside out? What keeps me from enjoying it more often? The high sodium and calorie content in typical ramen. But, don’t you worry, I’ve found a way to have my Ramen and eat it too. (Sorry couldn’t resist!). It could not be easier to make your own Quick & Healthy Triple Mushroom Zoodle Ramen Soup.

Make Your Own Quick & Healthy Triple Mushroom Zoodle Ramen Soup

What makes my Triple Mushroom Zoodle Ramen Soup so quick and so healthy?

Let me tell you…First, my base is a lower sodium vegetable broth. You could also use beef broth. If you have never looked at the sodium content on a box of broth, you may be shocked. However, it’s easy to find lower sodium options and you can always add some back in to suit your tastes.

Second, I have gotten rid of the majority of the calories by opting for zucchini “zoodles” instead of regular noodles. Honestly, I did not miss them at all! Of course, you could use regular pasta in this recipe as well. Using zoodles also makes this soup naturally gluten-free, low calorie, and low carb. What’s not to love?

I flavored my vegetable broth with 3 kinds of mushrooms: Shitake, Oyster, and Cremini. All should be available at a regular grocery store and often come packaged together. Any combination of mushrooms will do and they give the broth a nice hearty flavor. A helping of Miso Paste brings that Umami flavor profile you typically find in traditional ramen soup.

Can I customize the vegetables?

Yes! Once you have let your mushrooms cook down for about 15 minutes, it’s time to add in the veggies. This is where you can do a lot of customizing. Grab a handful of a few of your favorites like:

-Shredded carrots 

-Napa Cabbage

-Bok Choy

-Broccoli

-Green Beans

-Zucchini Zoodles 

What kind of protein works well in this Triple Mushroom Zoodle Ramen Soup?

This ramen starts out vegan so it’s up to you. I used baked tofu and a hard boiled egg in my soup today. The possibilities are endless and you can throw in any protein you wish from shrimp to pork to beef or chicken. You would need to pre-cook whichever protein you add in.

Get fancy!

I think it’s fun to eat my Triple Mushroom Zoodle Ramen Soup in these slanted bowls with these cute reusable chopsticks. Just makes my meal feel special.
