There's nothing like a bowl of hot, steamy Vietnamese beef noodle soup, or
pho, on a cold winter's day. It's my choice over chicken noodle soup or even my childhood fave, cream of tomato, when
I'm sick. The spice clears the sinuses, the bean sprouts, Thai basil and mint brighten my palate, and the broth warms
the cockles of my heart. This pho comes from the excellent Portland, Oregon Pho Hung.
