Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken with the bone
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 inch piece of fresh ginger
  • 3 star anise
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 8-9 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • rice noodles

Instructions
 

  • In a soup pot, add the oil and heat over medium heat one minute.
  • Add the onion and garlic, sauté for 3 minutes.
  • Add chicken, spices and water to the pot. (the rest of the ingredients)
  • Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 3 hours. Add more water as needed.
  • Prepare rice noodles per package instructions.
  • Add some cooked noodles to your bowl, add soup and chicken. Top with sprouts, basil, lime, and jalapeño.

Notes

  1. I used a bit more salt, but salt is a personal preference. I recommend testing the soup after an hour and adding a little more salt then if you like.
  2. The typical noodle for pho is a rice vermicelli noodle that you can find in most grocery stores. You can also use these gluten free ramen noodles for something different :-).
  3. You can use any cuts of bone in chicken. The bones add more nutrition and flavor to the broth.
  4. This soup will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
