Theres nothing like a warm bowl of Pho on a rainy or cold day! This Paleo Chicken Pho is made with zucchini noodles for a low carbs and grain free alternative.
Happy Black Friday! I know you have lots of leftovers to eat with loved ones, so I’ll keep this brief. My mom and I had a super fun day cooking Thanksgiving dinner together and watching Netflix and Redbox movies. I’m so blessed to have her here with me — I’m beyond Thankful for that.
So lets talk Pho. Pho is one of the most flavorful substances on the planet — it’s no wonder Americans are obsessed with it. I love the pairing of the sweeter spices, such as cinnamon, with the more robust peppercorns and ginger. It’s a total party in a bowl. It’s also one of the healthiest comfort foods I can think of, especially when the wind is blowing hard and you just want to curl up with a warm soup. Pho is the answer.
It’s also a perfect dish to make post-Thanksgiving when you want something a bit lighter. You could even swap out the chicken for leftover Turkey!
I was intimidated at the thought of trying to master just a beloved dish myself, but I’m really pleased with the result! This Pho is extra colorful and equally as packed with a rainbow of flavor.
And, you know me. I’ll eat anything with chopsticks.
