How to Make Italian Ramen Noodle Soup
Here’s a quick overview of how to make Italian ramen noodle soup.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
- Cook the veggies. Sauté the onion, carrots, and celery until tender. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, then add the seasonings.
- Simmer. Pour in the tomatoes with their liquid, vegetable broth, and diced potatoes. Bring to a boil then reduce to a gentle bubble. Simmer for 8 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Add the ramen. Break the ramen into quarters then add to the soup and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in the beans and cook until warmed through.
- Enjoy. Serve with a sprinkle of parsley and parmesan.
Tips & Variations
- Use other beans. You can substitute other white beans, such as cannellini beans, for the white navy beans.
- Discard the seasoning packet. Remember to discard the seasoning packet that comes with the ramen – it does not get added to the soup in this recipe.
- Serve immediately. Ramen noodles continue to absorb the broth after cooking, so serve the soup right away.
Proper Storage
Italian ramen noodle soup can be made 1 day ahead (through step 2) and stored in the fridge in an airtight container. Add freshly cooked noodles when reheating.
