Vietnamese Chicken Soup

Easy way to prepare Vietnamese Chicken Soup

Vietnamese Chicken Soup

When we visited our son, he took us to the Vietnamese Pho restaurant. The place was packed, we had to wait a while to be seated, it was worth it. We had several dishes and Pho., so this recipe was stuck in my head.

We decided to try it at home made some variation to suite our own taste. One of the essential ingredient, lemongrass was not easy to find in local supermarket and there was no oriental store nearby. So, I asked one of my Vietnamese friend at work to get it for me.

Due to out of season, the lemongrass was bit not as green as he hoped to get it for me. He gave me some tips, basically dice lemongrass couple of inch long and place it with ingredients and remove the pieces before serving.

Most of the time, I have experienced it take more time to get the ingredients, compared to making a meal. It makes easier if you have recipe printed before shopping for groceries and now a days it can be ordered online which makes that task even easier.

Vietnamese Chicken Soup was defiantly rich in flavor and still light, this turned out to be a really good meal. For wintery cold condition outside, hot and spicy soup is always a great choice for a lunch.
