Pho is a Vietnamese soup that’s made with all the good stuff: broth, noodles, beef (or other protein) and lots of mix-and-match toppings. The best thing about pho is that it’s such a restorative food—the comforting soup is savory and rich, while still feeling clean and refreshing at the same time.
I love Pho soup. There is only a few places here in saint Cloud that you can get it. The twin cities metro has a fair number of places that serve a real good Pho. Chicago probably has the most and best places for Pho.
I make a home version with Pho broth that I get in cans from one of the local Asian markets. It is good, but not as good as those at a good restaurant. The process of making the broth is a rather slow process. Someday I’m going to try to make the broth at home. I will most likely make a large batch and find a way to preserve it for later use.
