For those who want a little something more than just the packaged stuff, but that's easy to make. I came up with this when I was searching for an easy homemade Ramen Noodle recipe, but the only recipe I could find still contained ingredients I didn't have on hand (and I wanted the soup now.
3 and a half cups of either vegetable broth (if you want something healthy), beef broth or water with beef bullion cubes. The beef gives it more flavor, IMO.
3 oz. of either Ramen noodles or Chow Mein Stir fry Noodles. I like the stir fry noodles myself because they absorb a lot of the flavor of the broth.
1 teaspoon of soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon of chili powder (I heap the chili powder a little because I like the extra spiciness).
1/4 teaspoon of powdered ginger.
2 Green onions (optional)
While bringing liquid to a boil (or after the bullion is dissolved) add soy sauce, chili powder and ginger. Bring to a boil and make sure all the powders have been dissolved. Cook noodles for how ever long the package says (usually three minutes). Add sliced green onions for garnish.
This stuff is goooood, with a much stronger flavor than the packaged stuff. It really clears you sinuses, I kid you not. For even stronger flavor, double the amount of soy, chili and ginger, but be warned it has even more of a kick. I'm still experimenting with this so it's open to all kinds of possibilities. One thing I would like to try is adding frozen mixed veggies and/or sliced mushrooms, so if you would like to give those additions a try let me know how it turns out.

I had to go past the local HS today about 3PM and there were kids outside in
short pants and short sleeved shirts and they were NOT athletic outfits.
Wait a minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not see sesame oil in this recipe
That is a staple in any sort of Chinese cooking like this.........

You can get chili sauce fairly easy now, in fact, in most grocery stores in Asian section........
Out of curiosity, how much chili sauce does it call for???
Speaking of spicy, I recommended your Castles to Patk who said she is in need of some holiday reading......she replied she has not read it
(I was chuckling today about Sheppard's name for the queen, Morticia..because the Addams films were on cable recently)
:D)
BTW I also recommended Hound of Hell and Jabberwocky.....I figure if she had not read Castles, probably had not read those either.
We need to keep her busy during Christmas.

Thanks once more for clarifying.
The oil makes sense given it is a somewhat clear soup
BTW your comments about adding veggies sounds like Pho, which the Vietnamese make
It has beef broth, slices of beef, rice noodles, ginger, onions, bean sprouts, cilantro, green onions, and fresh basil
They also make a chicken version.
It is really good too.
