Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large pot, bring the 4 cups chicken broth to a boil over high heat. Add the 12 frozen meatballs and reduce heat to medium; simmer until meatballs are heated through, about 8 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 2 oz ramen noodles and 2 tbsp dried seaweed to the pot. Cook until noodles are tender, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in the 2 cups baby spinach and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Cook just until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Serve hot.

  4. Step 4

    For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes or a drizzle of sesame oil before serving if you have them.
