It is great for people on a budget because this recipe uses some pantry staples and you can use frozen, fresh, or canned vegetables. It is also a great way to jazz up your instant ramen packs and get more vegetables into your meal – you can just add the seasoning packet into the boiling broth near the end. Mushrooms are full of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, such as potassium, which can contribute to a lower blood pressure. Eggs are considered a complete protein source, which means it contains all 11 essential amino acids that humans cannot produce in their bodies but are essential for life. Eggs are also rich in vitamins and minerals, like choline, vitamin B12, and folate. Carrots contain beta-carotene, which will be converted to vitamin A in your body, and contribute to healthy eyes and a healthy heart.
