Ingredients
  

4 cups vegetable broth

2 cups pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon miso paste (optional but recommended for depth of flavor)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce (adjust based on desired heat level)

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 clove garlic, minced

4 servings of fresh or dried ramen noodles

1 cup baby spinach

1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms

2 green onions, sliced thinly

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Soft-boiled eggs (optional; use 1 egg per bowl)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Broth: In a large heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the vegetable broth, and add the pumpkin puree, soy sauce, and miso paste (if using). Stir in the sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. Bring the pot to a gentle simmer over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld.

    Cook the Ramen Noodles: While the broth simmers, bring a separate pot of water to a rolling boil. Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked to your liking, drain the noodles and set them aside in a bowl, ensuring they don’t stick together.

      Add Vegetables: After the broth has simmered for about 10 minutes, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and baby spinach to the pot. Allow the mixture to continue simmering for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the spinach has wilted beautifully.

        Assemble the Bowls: Evenly divide the cooked ramen noodles among four serving bowls. Carefully ladle the spicy pumpkin broth and its veggies over the noodles, ensuring each bowl receives an ample amount of the delicious broth.

          Garnish: If you like, add a soft-boiled egg to each bowl for an extra indulgent touch. Finish off the dish by topping with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, which will add a delightful crunch and enhance the visual appeal.

            Serve: Enjoy your vibrant and comforting spicy pumpkin soy ramen bowls hot! Adjust the seasoning according to your taste, adding extra soy sauce or a dash more chili garlic sauce if you crave additional flavor.
