Many Vietnamese people eat this soup for breakfast rather than as an evening meal. Pho can be made in more than 20 variations, but always has either a flavorful beef broth or a chicken broth base.
The rich, aromatic broth is prepared by boiling the beef or chicken bones for hours along with spices such as gin
ger, cloves, star anise and cinnamon. Cardamom is also sometimes used. Basil is often added to chicken-based pho. Pieces of meat or chicken, vegetables, and seasonings are added before it is ready for the table.
Pho is served with side dishes of additional items to add, such as lemon or lime, bean sprouts, chilis, and Thai basil leaves. Sauces such as fish sauce and hoisin sauce, a thick dark sauce, often accompany the soup. Some people like to add a spicy Thai sauce also.
