  • One of my favourite winter recipes. Nothing beats a fragrant soup packed with flavour to kick the winter sickness and blues. This recipe was a family favourite and it’s easy to incorporate or swap out ingredients. We did a seafood and beef and was a hit! Will be making again

  • I love this recipe and I’ve been using this recipe as a base to make something similar for many years now. It is perfect in the winter months when you want a soup type meal you can add so many vegetables and make it hearty and delicious and it’s something that I make regularly.

  • This pho sounds so comforting and yummy! I love that it’s packed with herbs and easy to make with whatever veggies you have on hand! Udon noodles instead of rice noodles is a cool twist. I’ve never made pho before so can’t wait to try it while it’s still winter!

  • Pho is so soul healing when anyone in the family is under the weather. Sometimes the blended or creamy soups just doesn’t sit well when we’re really sick but a clear broth always hits the spot and it’s super nourishing. I always make pho and pho ga when we need some extra nutrients.

  • This is absolutely divine! Soup season is here and I’ve been going through all my saved and bookmarked recipes and this one was on the list. It’s full of so many bold flavours that work perfectly together. It’s hard to get a good pho around me so it’s wonderful to be able to make it myself

  • I have made a version of this several times since I first saw this recipe and it is delicious. Although I don’t include the chilli as I don’t like spicy food, this is still just as delicious. You can tweak it by adding other ingredients that you enjoy too which will mix it up and add a different flavouring to it.

  • Doesnt this sound as if it would be amazing for helping to treat and avoid a cold or flu. The ginger would really help boost your immunity. I will have to give this a try as i love my soups during the cooler months in Winter. Attempting to get my partner into them also.

  • Oh I love how simple this recipe is! thank you! My husband is Vietnamese and absolutely loves his Pho. I have found it takes a very long time with the recipe that I have been using to get the broth just right. I will be giving this one a go now. Thanks again.

  • Yum!! This is such a simple pho recipe, I absolutely need to make it!! Vietnamese soups are my favourite, Bo Kho is the ultimate comfort food in my opinion but is a bit more laborious than this. Even though it’s now spring I’ll be making this next week and loving it!
