Ramen

Ramen might be the most versatile soup in the bracket. For some, it's instant noodles that got them through college. For others, it's a twelve-hour broth topped with perfectly cooked pork and jammy eggs. Either way, ramen creates obsessive fans. Supporters say no soup offers more flavor or satisfies cravings better. Traditionalists argue classics like Chicken Noodle and French Onion shouldn't lose to something so customizable. That's exactly why the debate never ends.
