Thai Shrimp Noodle Soup

I had bought some rice ramen at Costco and was looking for a recipe to use it in and came across this one. I used less water (6 cups) and beef bouillon powder instead of the pre-packaged ramen noodles as indicated in recipe.  I altered it a bit but it was so tasty. You can leave out the shrimp as well if you want. 
Original recipe comes from Oxmoor House. Serves 6



Ingredients

8 cups water 
3 green onions, minced
2 carrots, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp fish sauce or soy sauce
1 Tbsp Thai hot chili sauce
2 gloves garlic, finely minced (or 1 heaping tbsp minced)
2 Tbsp peeled and very thinly slivered fresh ginger
(I just used the kind you squeeze out of a tube)
1 tsp chopped fresh basil
4 packages oriental/beef/chicken flavor ramen noodles, slightly broken. 
8 oz medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach
1 cup sliced mushrooms
Juice and grated zest for 1 lime (I didn't add this)

Directions

Bring water to a boil in a soup pot. Add green onions, carrots, fish sauce, chili suace, garlic, ginger, and basil to pot. Add 2 ramen noodles seasoning packets (if you add al 4 packets, the soup will probably be too salty). Boil 5 mins. 

Add Shrimp, spinach, mushrooms and ramen noodles. Cook 5 more minutes. Add lime juice and zest. Stir well and serve.
