this was great- i'm used to just playing it by ear, so all i did was take a good look at the ingredients, gathered up what i'd need, and winged it, not bothering to measure. it turned out great. i cooked the noodles separately so each person could add their own and they wouldn't get soggy. my family and my brother's bandmates loved it and are already asking me to make it again soon. oh, and it tastes even better the next day!

Wow! This was really good and easy. I'm glad I did an ingredient search for ground beef & bok choy because I'll be making this again but I think I'll increase the ginger. I'll try some of the variations suggested by other reviewers - the shrimp with lemon-lime sounds great!

This soup is very tasty! The only changes I made were the following: I sauteed the beef with the onion and garlic before adding them to the soup. Instead of the ramen and the spice packets (because of the fat content of the ramen), I used the soft Asian noodles found near won ton wrappers in the store, and used beef broth instead of water and I doubled the amount. I also cut the soy sauce in half since the beef broth had salt.

This was quick and easy. Tasty for the effort involved. Not as much fluid as I had expected, but more would have probably been too many servings.

This was quick and easy, but the textures just didn't mix for me. Mostly, I think it was because the ramen noodles were too soft. My husband and I both ate it, and thought it was okay though. Maybe next time I'll try a different pasta. Or perhaps rice.

It was really good. I was nervous to put the ginger in it, because I don't like ginger, but I didn't even taste it. I also added celantro. Next time I am going to add some bean sprouts and shredded carrots.

Wow! This is really delicious! I can't get over just how quick and easy this is! I only have one suggestion, and that is to crush the ramen noodles in their package prior to adding to the pot. I didn't and ended up having to deal with long, long strings of noodles that made eating this soup quite comical! This is gonna be a favorite this winter I can tell. I always keep frozen containers of browned meat, onion and garlic - this will be a snap to prepare!

I make this soup often, it's delicious. For a change, I use 3 boneless chicken breasts cut up, change the Ramen to chicken flavor, and add cut up mushrooms. It's a keeper!

This was quick and easy with items on hand. I used onion powder and ginger powder and, instead of bok choy I used romaine. It came out more of a noodle dish then a soup. It was great. Not a low cal dish. Those noodles come pre-fried.
