CURRY UDON NOODLE SOUP WITH RIBEYE

Since being pregnant, I’ve had to simplify my cooking…but sometimes, it’s the simple cooking that produces the most awesome meals. This meal seriously only took about twenty minutes to make and I can’t stress how good it is if you can make it with some homemade basic chicken stock.
