Living in the Bay Area, there’s no shortage of pho restaurants. There’s probably hundreds of options, but for some reason I’ve only been to a few of them.

Now that it’s fall weather and only getting cooler, I’ll be enjoying warming and nourishing soups like Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Soup more often. As well as my slow cooker of course. You can enjoy Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Pho Soup homemade with just a few simple tips and tricks.

What is Pho Soup?

Pho is a Vietnamese soup made typically made with a broth base, rice noodles, veggies, herbs and meat. It’s endlessly customizable, which is partially why it’s so popular. Chicken, beef or pork works best for the meat.

Add-ins such as basil, lime, jalapeno, peppers, sprouts, cilantro, chili sauce, garlic, hard boiled egg, green onion, mushrooms and so much more make this a dish that never gets old.

How to Make Easy Chicken Pho

This Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Pho Soup is great for busy, health-minded individuals because it’s loaded with plenty of lean protein, natural ingredients, and is gluten-free.

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.

Slow cook chicken breasts in the bone broth with onion, garlic and a few other ingredients until chicken is tender and shreds apart. After that simply add in cooked rice noodles and your favorite toppings or the ones suggested in the recipe below.

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.
