Ingredients

8 ounces bacon, chopped

5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

2 cups sliced stemmed shiitake mushrooms (about 6 ounces)

7 cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

2 (3-ounce) packages ramen noodles, flavor packets discarded

  2. MAKE THE BROTH: Stir in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire and bring to a boil. Stir in the ramen noodles and boil until tender, about 2 minutes.
  3. ADD THE SHRIMP AND SERVE: Remove the broth from the heat and stir in the shrimp. Let stand until the shrimp are cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve topped with the chives.

I just want to point out, I noticed people commenting about the time to add the mushrooms. It said, add shitake. That is the mushrooms. <br />We like it! Is easy fast and delicious. Also. I didn't find shitake mushrooms and substitute for cremini. <br />
