Try adding some veggies, either fresh or frozen!.
You could also add some meat to it!.!.!.!.Chicken, ground beef, maybe even some salad shrimp!.
And, what about draining the water and adding cheese!?
I remember the day of surviving on the Ramen Soup and Macaroni and Cheese!.
It does get better!. You may never eat the Ramen soup again, but, it WILL get better!.
Good luck to you!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Frozen veggies of your choice are great and easy to keep around!.
Slices of hard-boiled egg as a garnish look good!.? Green onion and red pepper likewise!.
If you want to thicken it, take a potato and dice it into fine cubes and add it to the noodles during boiling!.? The potato starch will cause the broth to become stew-like!.? This may be hard to do in a cup; I'd make it in a saucepan instead, and use the cup for serving!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

buy the chicken that is already pre-cooked - it comes in all different flavors - people usually add it to salad but you could probably add it to that!. Purdue makes it - its near the raw meat in the supermarket!.
or add shrimp (pre-cooked)
or for a totally cheap approach - add egg so its like egg drop soup - all you have to do is pop it in the microwave for 30-40 seconds after you pour the water in and make sure you mix up the egg within it - and make sure you break the yolk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

What I've done with cup-style instant noodles!.
1!. Cook as directed!. Drain!. Then add whatever seasoning, meat, egg or veggies you have for a "dry" style of meal!.
2!. Remove noodles and crack a raw egg in the cup!. Replace noodles and pour boiling water in it!. Let it steep as directed!. The egg adds body to the soup and the yolk will be runny-medium, if it did not break!.
My recommendation however, is to use the package instant noodles - more bang for your buck!.
a - you can prepare the noodles with no seasoning, drain and you have instant pasta-style base where you can add almost any canned thick soup as a sauce!.
b - you can add canned thin soup for a different soup base!.
c!.- you can drain the noodles and use in a stir fry when you add additional ingredients (cup of noodles do not work well with this technique)!.
d - chili with frozen veggies as filler makes for a great meat sauce to top this!.
e - cut up frozen meatballs added to the mix adds variety and bulk!. Can be italian, swedish or asian (fish) balls!.
f - I have also just steeped package instant noodles instead of boiling it in a pot for a faster prep time!.
You will need to try out different instant noodle brands (ichiban or ramen, etc!.) as they may have different properties!. Some need the constant boiling to cook, some will soak up too much water if left alone, etc!. Trial and error will allow you to become and expert on this stuff!.
