How to make 5-minute Szechuan soup with whole grain ramen
Most people immediately assume that all ramen noodles are bad. But did you know there are healthy varieties and even whole grain? And this Szechuan Ramen Soup Recipe is full of healthy nutrients and feels like a warm comfort food… even though that sounds like an oxymoron.
The first time my husband and I went to a Szechuan restaurant with some of our Chinese friends, they ordered the food for us. None of it was anything I was familiar with and it has distinct flavor profiles and a rich taste.
I started using the pepper and spices at home to create new soups and dishes with a deeper and fuller flavor, especially to Ramen and that’s where this Szechuan Inspired Ramen Recipe came from!

This looks like a fantastic recipe that I do want to try. I”m all for a healthier ramen, but if you saw how much the 3rd party merchants are charging for this, I don’t think you’d llink your readers to it. I hope I can find it elsewhere on Google.
Hi there! We typically get it at Costco. And I know whole foods has it as well.
Thank you. I will try Costco. No Whole Foods anywhere near me. As a note, I’ve contacted Amazon months ago about their outrageous prices which are starting to be the norm and they claim they are trying to stop these merchants. I highly doubt it as they never take down fake “genuine” products either. The more that complain, the better chance we have of getting this done!
