This tastes so good—as if it simmered for hours, but it’s ready in 15 minutes. I thought the original recipe was lacking in flavor, so I jazzed it up with extra corn and bacon bits. —Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 package (3 ounces) chicken ramen noodles
  • 1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (14-3/4 ounces) cream-style corn
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup cubed cooked bacon
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon minced chives

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Break noodles into large pieces. Add noodles and contents of seasoning packet to water. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until noodles are tender.
  2. Stir in the corn, cream-style corn, milk, onion and curry powder; heat through. Stir in the cheese, bacon, parsley and chives until blended. If desired, top with additional bacon, chives or cheddar cheese.
