Easy Chicken Pho at Home

Pho is one of my favorite things to eat throughout the year and it is definitely a go to when I feel under the weather.

I love using cheat method because it cuts that cooking time so much. In the traditional way to make pho, it can take hours to develop a rich flavor in the broth. And when I am craving it, I do not have patience to wait for hours.
