Pho Soup
This soup has a power fragrant broth that helps keep you healthy or gets you back on your feet! I strongly recommend using as much organic as possible.
Broth:
8 cups chicken broth
1 chicken breast
1 large onion-cut in quarters or eighths
4-5 dried shitake mushrooms
10 cloves garlic-peeled and minced or pressed
2″ piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated or minced
1 Tbl brown rice vinegar
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise
handful cilantro stems-reserve leaves
Pho:
Package fine/thin rice noodles
2 cups+/- fresh bean sprouts
4 green/spring onions sliced
1/2 cup or more course chopped cilantro
1 lime, cut into wedges
To make Broth:
Put broth, garlic, ginger, sugar, vinegar, pepper, cinnamon, anise, and cilantro stems into large pot. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered about 1 hour. Strain broth.
Add 2 cups water, mushrooms broken into pieces, onion and chicken breast cut into bit size pieces. Cook on medium-low about 1/2 hour.
To Make Pho:
Cook noodles according to package. Extra noodles keep well in the refrigerator.
Divide noodles among large bowls-about 6
Ladle broth over noodles and top with sprouts, green onions, and cilantro. Lime can be squeezed on last.
Optional: tofu or shrimp
