Pho Soup | Authentic, Aromatic and Comforting Vietnamese Noodle Soup Recipe

Pho Soup is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup celebrated for its fragrant broth, tender meat, silky rice noodles, and fresh herbs. This comforting dish is made by slowly simmering beef bones with aromatic spices, creating a rich, deeply flavorful broth that is both satisfying and nourishing.

The broth is infused with toasted spices such as star anise, cinnamon, cloves, coriander seeds, and ginger, giving it its signature aroma and complexity. Thinly sliced beef cooks gently in the hot broth, while rice noodles provide a soft and delicate texture.

Fresh bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, lime wedges, and sliced chilies add brightness, crunch, and freshness to every bowl. Each serving offers a harmonious balance of savory, aromatic, and refreshing flavors.

Pho Soup is perfect for lunch or dinner and is traditionally served with customizable garnishes, allowing everyone to enjoy this classic Vietnamese favorite just the way they like it.

Cooking Method

Roast or char the onion and ginger until lightly blackened, then set aside.
Toast the star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and coriander seeds in a dry pan for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
Place the beef bones and brisket in a large stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a boil for 10 minutes, then drain and rinse the bones and pot.
Return the bones and brisket to the clean pot. Add 12 cups of fresh water, the charred onion and ginger, toasted spices, fish sauce, sugar, and salt.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3–4 hours, skimming any foam as needed.
Remove the brisket once tender and slice it thinly. Strain the broth and discard the solids.
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions and divide them among serving bowls.
Top the noodles with sliced brisket and thinly sliced raw sirloin.
Ladle the hot broth over the beef so the sirloin cooks gently in the broth.
Serve immediately with bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, green onions, lime wedges, chilies, hoisin sauce, and sriracha on the side.
