It was Phở and it was going to be lunch :(


Well on a cold day like we had today in Colorado, soup is always on the menu. Since yesterday, all I could think about was eating Phở for lunch. For the people out there that do no know what Phở is, here is a simple description.

Phở a traditional Vietnamese soup that consist of thinly sliced meat and rice-noodle. Phở is served with a bowl of white rice noodles in clear beef broth or chicken broth, with thin cuts of beef (steak, fatty flank, lean flank, brisket). Variations featuring tendon,tripe, meatballs, chicken leg, chicken breast, or other chicken organs. The dish is garnished with ingredients such as green onions, white onions, coriander leaves or (long coriander),Thai basil, lime wedges, and fresh bean sprouts.

Well long story short, the place was packed and no where to sit. So I had to settle on a very bad BBQ at a place next door, and gave me the idea to create a blog about food.

So I have decided to make some Phở tonight. It can be cheap and easy to make. This soup will knock out a common cold quickly, but tends to leave you sniffing and blowing your nose as you are finished. Tomorrow I will add the recipe that I created with what I had in the kitchen.
Enjoy,
