20 MinThis warm soup is based on rice noodles, hearty chicken broth, and raw veggies, sprouts, and herbs. We have made a shortcut using purchased broth so you can get to the finish more quickly.
Ingredients
- 4 quarts no salt added chicken broth
- 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice powder
- 1 chicken breast, boneless, skinless, sliced very thin on the bias
- 8 ounces straight cut rice noodles cooked according to package directions (Thai style)
- 2 carrots cut in thin strips
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup green onion
- 1 serrano chili, sliced thin
Instructions
- Bring the broth to a boil, add the 5 spice powder then lower heat to a simmer. Add the sliced chicken breast, cook until done, about 3-5 minutes, then pull out of the broth with a strainer ladel. Keep the broth at a simmer. It should reduce to about 3 cups.
- Cook the noodles in water according to package directions. Strain.
- Assemble the pho: Place the noodles in 2 bowls then top with the broth, dividing between 2 bowls. Top with the chicken and raw veggies. Serve hot.
