A simple Healthy Vietnamese Pho Soup cannot only take you through a cold winter but right into spring with it’s fresh ingredients. It is a simple quick fix that my whole family loves especially when made with easy House Foods Shirataki Noodles. It can be made with chicken and fish sauce or those can be omitted and it is vegetarian or vegan, just check your individual products to make sure. This can be gluten free also if you make sure the hoisin sauce is also gluten free or omit it.

The Shirataki noodles that are used in this recipe are vegan and gluten free and are so easy to use. Just a quick rinse and a fast 2 min. boil and they will be waiting for you while you make the rest of the soup. They are perfect in an Asian soup like this and one that we love making as it whips up in 20 min. max.

This soup is very versatile, not only can it be made with chicken or remain vegan, it can be dressed up to how you like it. Bring on the spicy heat of fresh jalapenos and little red peppers. Amp it up even more with Sriracha or omit those and you still have a very flavorful soup! Each member of your family can have it how they like it right down to the toddlers.
