Description
High protein lemony chicken soup.
Ingredients
| 3 | oz | ramen |
| 2 | t | low sodium chicken bouillon |
| 1 | t | diced dried onion |
| 1 | t | dried parsley |
| 1⁄4 | t | true lemon powder |
| 1⁄4 | c | freeze dried green peas |
| 3 | oz | can or pouch chicken breast |
| 1⁄4 | c | finely chopped pecans |
| 2 | c | water |
Notes
With canned chicken weight of meal is 9 ounces. Find 3-ounce cans of chicken in 3 packs by Swanson or 3-ounce pouches online.
To save more weight, use 1/4 cup freeze dried chicken instead, packing it with the ramen. Add 1/4 tsp more bouillon and 1/4 cup more water.
The pecans can be left out for a lighter tasting soup. It will have a gentle lemon-chicken flavor, quite nice to soothe tummies. The pecans tend to thicken the soup as well – you will notice your broth disappearing quickly after adding in.
You can use baked ramen (which we did) or Chuka Soba noodles for the ramen.
