Vietnamese Chicken Pho

May 9, 2017 By My Nguyen Leave a Comment

Vietnamese Chicken Pho is my number one comfort food and go noodle soup recipe for the family. It’s light and savory broth with delicate white rice noodles is always satisfying. There are a variety of Vietnamese Pho recipes like beef, chicken, seafood and tofu. The easiest and tastiest to me is a chicken broth base, especially on a cold day or when I’m feeling sick. Even though this is titled Vietnamese Chicken Pho, I added shrimp at my daughters request. Shrimp is optional, but I highly recommend it.
