Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crock Pot: Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy cleanup after cooking.
  2. Add Broth: Pour 4 cups of chicken broth into the Crock Pot, forming the base of the soup.
  3. Add Protein: Place your chosen protein—whether chicken, pork, beef, or tofu—into the broth to begin cooking.
  4. Incorporate Vegetables: Add 2 cups of fresh mixed vegetables like bok choy, bell peppers, and carrots to the pot for added flavor and nutrients.

  6. Cook: Cover the Crock Pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours, allowing all ingredients to meld and cook through.
  7. Add Noodles: After 4 hours, stir in the ramen noodles and continue cooking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the noodles are tender and fully cooked.
  8. Serve: Taste the ramen and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting homemade Crock Pot Ramen.

Notes

  • Discard the seasoning packet from the ramen noodles as it is not needed and may contain excess sodium.
  • You can customize the protein to your preference—chicken thighs work well but beef or tofu are great alternatives.
  • Feel free to use any fresh or frozen mixed vegetables you like for convenience and variety.
  • Adjust the soy sauce quantity to taste or substitute with a low-sodium version to reduce salt intake.
  • Adding the noodles at the end prevents them from becoming too soggy during the long slow cooking process.
