Cup Noodles 5g, should nest in a 750ml pot.
I've switched over to the pouches. Much easier to pack and no need for a can opener ever!

They have it in the condensed/$12 a pack :-)
I use Quoc Viet Wonton Soup Base which I find has a bit of a stronger flavor than some of the others.
Actually I also use this as my go to chicken bouillon drink when I feel like something hot to drink.
Contrary to the package directions however, I keep it in my fridge. A recommendation from an Internet commentor which I think I agree.
For your chicken boullion... this is the shit you need to use:
https://www.amazon.com/Totole-Granulated-Chicken-Flavor-Soup/dp/B007DMV732/
It's mostly MSG and makes anything asian taste fucking awesome.
Also good to just buy yourself some of that raw MSG for adding to any type of dish. Totally my secret ingredient. It should look like tiny shard/crystals
Here is the link to amazon. I think it is and I saw a q&a saying it was https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B74WV0A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FQajDbZCVJAZK
Last night for dinner, I made Tom Yum soup, using this base: https://www.amazon.com/Quoc-Viet-Foods-Thai-Flavored/dp/B00B74WV0A
I got it for about $5 at the Cambodian store in my neighborhood. I included shrimp, snow peas, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, and garnished with fresh cilantro. It was freaking delicious, highly recommend. It took about 10 minutes all said and done, I chopped the veggies while the water was coming to a boil. :)
That meal is missing a good soup. Don't worry, though, i found it.
Progresso soup is basically the equivalent of ramen noodles, but slightly better if you pick out the chicken fragments and just eat the broth/veggies. I can't find cans of anything here except sauerkraut and other pickled items, so if you've found even 1 soup in your country then you're doing better than me.
Here's a [picture] (https://www.amazon.com/Progresso-Traditional-Chicken-Wild-Rice/dp/B00NPHTERU)
Early in the morning before his bachelor party, take him out to Mobay city limits saying you’re going to a seahorse petting zoo or some other equally believable pretext. When you get there, as soon as he gets out of the car everybody pile back in and drive off laughing, leaving him with nothing but a fanny pack with fifty bucks and a list of stuff he has to bring back by 6:00 that night. If you can manage to take his shoes before you drive off, priceless.
List:
For every item on the list he brings back, he gets a free lapdance that night at the bachelor party/go-go club. If he doesn’t bring back any, he won’t get any. Conveniently forget to tell him that the lapdance will be from one of the guys.
Enjoy.
She'll love you longer if you get her some of this.
i'm looking through the recommended items based off of that one & i found this https://www.amazon.com/Grace-Cock-Flavored-Soup-Mix/dp/B002Q46EH6/ref=lp_7660037011_1_2_a_it?srs=7660037011&ie=UTF8&qid=1521949198&sr=8-2
now i'm laughing because i'm also 5. what have you done haha!
man, the reviews for cock soup got me giggling like a school girl
Progresso has a few that are 10g or less net carbs per 1 cup serving:
I got mine at my local Vietnamese market. Brand is Por Kwan and it’s a product of Thailand.
If you don’t have a Southeast Asian market nearby, Quoc Viet powder soup bases are sold on Amazon. Here is the Tom Yum.

I believe this is the chicken powder used. Its basically easily dissolving chicken bouillon with mostly msg. Theres no fat in it but it tastes delicious. I like using it as a seasoning or a quick soup base.
It may sound odd, but chicken soup from my "Help/Needed" list would greatly improve my life right now. My beloved became disabled about ten years ago. I threw everything I had, body, mind, and soul, into getting her health stable and possibly reversing some of the disability. I am over-the-moon happy to report that her health is almost completely stable, and she has regained enough movement capacity to live a fairly "normal" life, one that includes a hobby or two and even getting out to visit friends on occasion. My health, on the other hand... I got a wake up call that I need to take care of myself, too. (Duh, of course!) I knew that. But she was more important and immediate. So now, prepared chicken soup that I could just heat up, to deliver delicious nutrients to us... Heaven. Perfection.
Still, every and any item on my lists will make me smile for one reason or another.
Edited to add: You might be interested in the health and (apparently) pain relieving benefits of turmeric.
I use this for my broth, along with sesame oil, red miso, tahini, ginger, onion, and then cook for about 1 hour:

Asked Vietnamese friends the same question, they pointed us to this:

We've been using it for years, and it's pretty close if not the exact thing you're going to get at most vietnamese restaurants.
https://www.amazon.com/Osem-Chicken-Soup-Mix-14oz/dp/B004O2AXWA
usually will be found in the kosher section, even if its really little! popular product.
We also save scraps to make broth and then freeze it into ice cubes (about 1 oz per cube, easy for using later), then bag the ice cubs and keep in the freezer. It's really easy and tastes much better. I have a veggie bag, a chicken bag, and a beef bag in the freezer at all times. Random weekend day I'll just make 3 pots of broth (or combine all the scraps if I don't have a lot of each). That way I can let it simmer down for many hours instead of 1 or 2, which gives me concentrated flavor cubes that I can reconstitute later :)
But we keep Progresso on hand as a backup in a pinch. It's the only one in our supermarket that's low fodmap. No onions, garlic, or "spices". 5 ingredients: broth, sugar, salt, carrot - it does have "natural flavor", but it hasn't seemed to affect her in any negative way since we started the low fodmap diet. I never thought to call the company like /u/thesoundsyouknow did, I'll have to give them a ring.

There's actually a snack that's ramen you crush up and eat after shaking with seasoning powder. That's what instructions say to do.

Pretty salty. Pretty good.
Dashi. But if you can't find the ingredients to make it, which is rare these days but possible, here is my "quick" faux-dashi recipe. Really just a method to making a quick delicious broth from pantry stuff mostly. Note that I give the ingredients depending on what I have in my /r/frugal pantry. And I have good access to a variety of interesting stuff... here goes:
Ingredients
> Either: Fish Base Better Than Bouillon (found in soup aisle), or in a pinch if you are desperate Ossem Chicken Consomme or what my Polish family grew up with Vegeta Seasoning.
> If you can find it, I get it in my health focused local co-op but not this brand: dried kombu. This makes it extra yummy but if you dont have it, like the rest of the substitutions in my "quick broth" method, it'll probably turn out fine.
>the cherry on top of the sundae, if you have the extra few minutes: katsuobushi, & your miso of choice, soy sauce of your choice, mirin if you have; if not, keep an eye out for it, grated ginger root if you're feeling fancy
> Depending on whether you want a soup or broth for rice, you may want vegetables and maybe some protein like chicken or egg or even fish (which I've cooked some types in the broth and comes out lovely).
> Need rice maybe.
Method:
In a good sized pot - one that can hold at least 2-4 bowls of soup or enough water to make rice, so, 1-2 liters depending? Fill with water only 3/4 of the way up, for room to boil. Add strip of dried kombu Heat water, ladle some nearly boiling into a small bowl and dissolve a couple teaspoons or tablespoons, depending on desired strength of broth, of fish Better Than Bouillon. Pour into pot, taste, adjust. Don't make it too salty yet. If you don't have BTB, season your water with the Ossem or Vegeta - it won't be quite as nice as using BTB, which is my secret quick dinner weapon- I use it in all the flavors it comes in. Important thing is that you have good flavor here but the sodium level isn't bad yet. Subtle.
When water is boiling, remove kombu and set aside. You can shred it and add a bit on top of the rice later, make a salad, or just toss it and make me cry.
Reduce to low simmer. Use your katsuobushi if you have it and want to but I admit to neither having tried it yet nor being that skilled yet to teach another about it but there are guides better than mine online. This is just a quick way to make yourself a tastey liquid for dinner.
Season with soy sauce, mirin, whatever you may have on hand that pleases you.
Turn off burner. Let stand a few minutes. If you wish, ladel a bit of the liquid into a bowl again and mix with some miso; it's good for you! Return miso mixture into pot. I don't usually do this with rice because the liquid is flavorful enough without it, but if I'm at the end of making a real soup from it with veggies etc I will add miso before serving along with some appropriate fresh herbs, optional.
Keep in mind:
If you're making rice with it, a too-salty broth will make the rice too strong. Try to get used to a lower salt level in your life and you'll appreciate a whole new world of taste sensitivity. And your heart will thank you.
Rice is like a backdrop to the more potent things you eat, and a flavorful stir-fry is nice when paired with a more delicate rice. Dare I suggest you try jasmine rice sometime, it is one of my favorites even though it's long-grained. Lovely aroma, I could eat it plain!
If making a soup with it, experiment with different flavor profiles, bases, and vittles like sweet potatoes cubed up, bits of chicken or pork, fresh parsley and/or dill, wakame seaweed (a favorite in my house), and yes even tofu!
Anyway, hope that wasn't too long... I am getting midnight cravings talking about rice and good broth (I make an insane bone stock that turns into jelly in the fridge, yum... that's for another day!)
Edited: fixed some things!
Hi,
I always swap out 3-4 cups of beef bone broth for Amy's French Country Vegetable Soup. Decreasing the fluid makes a thicker soup, which I prefer. If the fluid isn't at the height of the contents, I will add broth until it is. Adding mixed vegetables makes more variety.
Sometimes I will swap out the beef for kielbasa, but lately I've just been adding a pound of browned kielbasa. For me, more meat = more good. :)
I add a small can of diced water chestnuts. They are one of the few vegetables that remains crunchy through pressure cooking and I find it adds a lot of texture to have something to 'crunch'. Especially when combined with the kielbasa with its skin, which snaps when bitten.
I have tried bacon, but it requires too much work and doesn't add enough volume to the meal.
thanks,
jon
I've been LIVING off this soup. No fat and it's gluten free (intolerant). Super tasty. Just like regular chicken noodle soup. I add some rice to thicken it up and make it feel like a full meal. Plus some salt and pepper. It's really good. I can usually get 2 meals out of 1 can with rice mixed in. My local grocery store sells them at 3.50 a can. Much cheaper in bulk on Amazon!

Best I've had. (Broth wise) can't replicate the Campbell's wheat filled egg noodles.
I save these for cold winter days and when I'm sick.
