Chicken and Shrimp Pho ~ Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken and Shrimp Pho is the perfect recipe to show off your Liquid Gold Chicken Stock Broth. Pho, a Vietnamese noodle soup with about 100 different versions, is just as much, if not more about the broth as it is the stuff in the soup and the stuff you put on the soup. If you love a lot of stuff, this is the soup for you, especially as it can be prepared in less than 15 minutes!

If you’ve thought that pho was pronounced foe you’re not alone. This is a good visual reminder.

If you’re not familiar with the meme I’ve included, just look at some of the puntastic restaurant names that clearly illustrate the correct pronunciation.

  • What the Pho – Bellevue, Washington
  • Pho-King Delicious – Northridge, California
  • Pho-nominal Vietnamese Restaurant – Colorado Springs, Colorado
  • Pho Shizzle – Renton, Washington
  • Un-Pho-gettable – Mesa, Arizona

But then there’s 9021Pho in Beverly Hills so …

Regardless of how you pronounce it this is one of those dishes where the end result is so much more than just the sum of its parts. It’s a perfect winter warmer upper.

You start with chicken broth, chicken, shrimp and rice noodles and the rest is up to you. Traditionally sprinklings include:

  • Fresh herbs like Thai basil, mint and cilantro
  • Sauces like hoisin, chile paste and sriracha
  • Slivered onion or shallot and bean sprouts
  • Lime wedges and fresh jalapeno

Some people love to pile it all in and stir it up while others are more discriminating in their choices and placement. Don’t let anyone tell you how to get your phở  on, you do it how you like it best! All of the additions or none, it’s up to you.

I prefer my broth more delicately flavored, so the spices here are about half of what is generally seen in recipes. Taste and decide if you want to add more.

    YUUMMY. This recipe is so comforting, velvety smooth. I added heat to my bowl. My wife and kids prefer a cooler bowl but both are equally satisfying. My 10 yr old son said “This is a bowl of happiness ” And he is right.
