It’s all slow cooked in one pot for easy prep and clean-up, with little hands-on time. It’s best to start the chicken and broth base in the morning, so you can come home to an almost ready meal.

Pho traditionally is made with a homemade broth from meat, bone and/or veggies. To save time I recommend Pacific Foods Unsalted Chicken Bone Broth. It’s versatile for cooking and recipes, or great for sipping on it’s own with seasonings such as sriracha, chile, turmeric, ginger or pepper, plus a bit of salt. It contains natural occurring collagen and protein –with just 40 calories.

Pacific Foods Bone Broths are made with a traditional recipe of organic, free-range chicken or turkey bones, onion, apple cider vinegar and spices, slow simmered for many hours.

Pho Soup Serving and Storage Tips

  • Noodles are best fresh. Cook desired amount for meal, then cook more for leftovers.
  • Preparation: Add toppings to prepared bowls, not the entire soup to keep them crisp and fresh. Add new toppings to leftovers.
  • Storage: Store the chicken and broth base sealed in fridge for 3-4 days. Freeze smaller batches for longer storage and easy meals.
