I like soups in spring and summer, I like soups at any time of the year. It has to be the right soup for me and this Easy Vietnamese Pho is nice and light, healthy, and full of flavor. The chicken is already cooked but then simmered slowly all day in the crockpot making a delicious stock and a nice and tender chicken. I would think even a dried-out chicken would come to life again.
Once the chicken has simmered, it is a super easy prep and another 10 min. of cook time. You then have the most enjoyable Asian soup with hardly any work at all.
I think the most important thing is just to have fresh ingredients, if you do, you will have a winner of soup on hand.
