It is my turn to host the Weekend Blog Showcase and this week and I’m am thrilled with the recipe that I found on Jungle Frog Cooking. I love Vietnamese Pho and Simone’s recipe for Chicken Pho was perfect.
I wanted soup to take to lunch and I had almost everything I needed to make the Pho. I put a pot of homemade chicken broth on to simmer with a couple of chicken breasts and fresh ginger, garlic, and a cinnamon stick. I’m not a fan of star anise so I left it out. The chicken was set aside and the broth strained.
While the broth was cooking I prepped the rice noodles and the garnishes for the soup – chopped green onion, cilantro, and lime.
On my way to work I picked up the ingredients I as missing – bean sprouts, basil and a red chili pepper.
The broth went into a container and the noodles, shredded chicken and other garnishes went into a separate container.
I even remembered to bring a bowl, chop sticks and a sharp knife to slice the chili pepper. And my camera so I would have photos to go with this post.
I made a few adjustments to the original recipe, (I know that doesn’t surprise anyone though does it?) leaving out a few ingredients that I’m not keen on and adding one or two others. You can find the original recipe on

I had the good fortune to make Pho with a Vietnamese co-worker this week. I was amazed at how simple it really is to make. The only question is if I can duplicate it at home. Yours looks wonderful, I really must make it for my family soon.-Robin
