Pho soup is one of those comfort foods that I crave on a cold Spring day or when I’m not feeling my best.  Traditionally, pho is made by cooking broth for mucho amount of hours.  Sometimes I just want a quick, easy and tasty soup recipe to satisfy my craving.

This recipe uses chicken stock with some added ingredients for flavour and leftover roasted chicken.  If you’ve tried my Easy Roasted Chicken Recipe, then this recipe is your obvious next step.  I used LiberTerre chicken products because I know that I will always get a great tasting final dish.  Their chicken products are air-chilled which results in a great tasting end result every single time!

If you are sensitive to spice, reduce or eliminate the sriracha sauce.  I prefer a spicy soup so I go all out when adding the spicy ingredients.

Simple Spicy Chicken Pho Soup


  • Author: Julie
  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz rice noodles
  • 12 oz shredded chicken
    Broth:
  • 1 medium onion, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, whole
  • 1 4-inch piece of ginger
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 star anise pod
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 oz mushrooms, chopped
  • 4 scallions, finely sliced
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup fresh bean sprouts
  • 1 lime, cut into 4 wedges
  • Optional garnishes: Thai chillis, shredded carrots, basil or cilantro.

Instructions

  1. Heat an oil coated medium soup pot to medium-high heat. Add the onion (cut side down), garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden brown (about 3-4 minutes). Add broth, star anise, cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Add the fish and Sriracha sauces to the broth. Reduce the heat and simmer until the flavours come together (about 8-10 minutes). Add the mushrooms and scallions and simmer for 2 minutes.
  2. Discard the ginger, garlic, star anise and cinnamon stick. Remove the onion and carefully slice it and set aside. Taste your broth and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Add the chicken (or other leftover protein) to the broth until heated through.
  3. In the meantime, bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Drain the noodles and divide among 4 bowls.
  4. Ladle the broth and chicken into the bowls and divide the sliced onion among the bowls. Garnish with fresh bean sprouts, and/or other optional garnishes. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side.
