This ramen take on classic beef and broccoli might be our favorite easy dinner. Thinly sliced steak and tender broccoli join those unmistakable noodles in a savory ginger soy sauce for an all-in-one dinner that’s sure to become a weeknight classic.

While birria is traditionally a Mexican stew made with chiles and warm spices like cinnamon, it’s been popping up everywhere lately as tacos, and that’s the energy we’re bringing into this comforting soup. We recommend making this dish when it’s freezing cold outside and loud, boozy outdoor celebrations seem like lightyears away. Throw some chiles, bones, and meat in your slow-cooker and huddle under a blanket—in a few hours, you’ll have a hearty, slow-cooked, mash-up soup that’s perfectly balanced.

When we‘re in the mood for something that has a bit more flavor than your run of the mill canned soup or packaged ramen, we turn to creamy chicken ramen soup. This recipe packs a flavorful punch and then some! You get some spiciness from the curry powder, a rich creaminess from the coconut milk, and a burst of citrus with a squeeze of lime.
