Creamy Ramen Primavera

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces frozen French-cut green beans (no need to thaw)
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 12 large onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 cup fresh grated carrot
• 1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained
• 1 (8 ounce) candrained mushrooms
• 2 cups cooked chicken breasts, cut in bite sized chunks
• 14 cup dry sherry
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 2 (3 ounce) packages oriental-flavor instant ramen noodles (although any flavor would probably do well in this dish)
• 12 cup chicken broth
• 1 pinch basil
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 14 teaspoon celery salt

1. In a large pot heat the olive oil over med./high heat.
2. Add the green beans, ginger, onion, garlic, carrots, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and cooked chicken to the pot and saute about 8-10 minutes until the onions are soft, and all the ingredients are hot.
3. While this mixture is cooking, you can cook both packages of ramen and drain the noodles, **but save the seasoning packets, you will need them**.
4. Also at this time you can put the cream cheese in a small bowl and heat it in the microwave for 50-60 seconds, enough to get it very soft and almost melty; add the 2 seasoning packets you saved, to the cream cheese and stir well.
5. After cooking the chicken mixture for the 8-10 minutes, you will add the dry sherry and mix well.
6. Now add the cream cheese mixture, and the chicken broth and mix well again.
7. Add the basil, red pepper flakes, and celery salt, making sure everything is heated through, and then serve!
