Phobsessed

I LOVE food.

Anytime I try something new and fall in love, I instantly want to learn how to make it. And you better believe it has to be the best way but the cheapest that I can. It wasn’t much different when I was introduced to ramen and pho in the last couple years. I first tried ramen in Denver, Colorado with my brother and pho not long after. I loved the two right away so I started researching and experimenting with different ways to make both and ultimately combined the two into this recipe. I have tried making pho the long way with beef knuckles and star anise for 8 hours plus… broiling onion and garlic too… but when I was buying my items at our local Asian market the lady that helped me told me she had not even made it from scratch. She introduced me to instant Pho broth in a jar. It is my go to for the base of my broth and usually runs about $3-4.

We love this meal as a family because the kids get to add as much as they like and try new things on their own and my hubby can make his as spicy as his heart desires.

If you are friends with me on any social media platform you know that I love to take photos of my food… and my pho pictures are no different. The different colors and greens just make my meal so appealing and then it tastes even better! So with all these PHOtos I have had a lot of friends asking me to share this recipe so here goes!
