One of my favorite foods is the amazingly rich soup called Pho, a classic of Vietnamese cuisine.
I know that a recipe that always makes me feel better whether I’m sick, or just anxious from my PMS, is a big bowl of soup. And if you need more tips on PMS anxiety or are wondering why it continues to happen EACH and EVERY month, check out this article that explains it all.
And this soup has it all, from the rich beef broth to the ginger that helps to unclog your pores, and then all the yummy veggies, you’ve got to try this recipe.
I’m dreaming of my spring rolls and the steaming bowl of Pho I always order. But in lieu of the restaurant, I’m making my own Pho. Here’s my favorite recipe for this traditional Vietnamese breakfast food that we eat for lunch or dinner. This takes a whole day, make it another weekend project.
