You know what I have decided?
I’ve decided I am subconsciously preparing to get my wisdom teeth pulled by making as many soups as possible
UGH. Yes, I did say get my wisdom teeth pulled. I know, I know, what a drag. My dentist back in Ohio actually told me like five years ago that I really need to have them pulled. I went into denial mode and instead I waited, and waited. I didn’t go to the dentist for five years, even though I was feeling slight pain. I waited some more and then finally, I went to the dentist yesterday. Unfortunately, my wisdom teeth did not disappear. They definitely need to come out within the next six months…and it’s gonna be $395 a tooth. Ahhh, what?!?
Apparently when you hit the ripe old age of 22, you get kicked off the parents dental insurance and you’re all on your own. Like just kicked to the curb. Errrr. Since I work for myself, that means I need to pay my own dental.
Really?
Life as an adult…it just keeps getting better and better.
The first available time slot for my wisdom teeth was December 19th. NOOO. I couldn’t get my wisdom teeth pulled on the very same day my entire family is flying in for Christmas. I mean, the doc said I had to “take it easy” (what does that even mean?) for a few days. A few days! I can’t sit still for five minutes, let alone a few days.
And definitely not in December. I just couldn’t.
So January it is. New year and a couple fewer teeth. Yahoooo!
But umm, really, $395 + $395 = $790 big ones. I can buy so much with that. Think of all the pretty dishes….oh or maybe think of the two pairs of boots I am dying for. Yes, I would SO rather spend that money on boots. Wisdom teeth, you officially stink!
Anyway, my teeth really have nothing to do with this soup, other than the fact that I plan on making this the day I get my teeth pulled. The doc said soft foods only…polenta, mashers, soup and ahhh hot chocolate! Cool, cool, I can do soft foods!!
Ok but really, this 30 Minute Chicken Ramen Soup.
I have to give my self a big high-five cause I was able to make an easy version for you guys. And well, you all know that’s kind of a big deal for me! I can’t lie, I like recipes with steps and easy recipes don’t really come EASY to me. But I did it, and this soup is so GOOD!
Hello, ginger butter!!
And roasted brussels sprouts, my favorite! No seriously, they are my favorite. I have them almost daily in the fall and winter months.
Here’s the deal, the brussels sprouts roast while the soup cooks making this meal QUICK. And the chicken + noodles just go right into the soup, saving you about a zillion pots and pans.
I’m telling you, this recipe is a real winner. And aside from the butter, this recipe is light and healthy. I mean let’s be real, you know I could convince you that this butter is semi-healthy since it’s loaded with ginger, which we all know fights off almost all things bad. Meaning, if you have a cold or are feeling a little run down, this is the soup you NEED in your life.
Plus, there are new studies out that say that butter might not be bad for us after all, maybe even good for us. If you’re interested, check out what Bon Appetit has to say.
While I adore the soup, the brussels sprouts are my favorite. I also love the salty flavor the miso leaves. It’s perfect and when used as a topping for this ramen?!?
Ahh, it is the best!
I’m not sure much beats a delicious AND quick ramen. Especially on a dark and rainy day, like today 🙁 Thinking it’s time for a another bowl!
