I just got back from my Rohani Pilates (best Pilates class ever!) where Lucy was talking about all the yummy Pho she had on her Vietnam holiday.

You know I LOVE soup!

I have made slow cooked Pho with oxtail a few moths ago and it was sooo good! But I wanted Pho now!

I had leftover grass fed fillet from last night the fridge, leftover organic spaghetti* and I wanted to use my new organic, grass fed, bone broth collagen so I improvised…. I can’t claim it was as good as my original (or an authentic Vietnamese Pho) but it was quick, yummy (and healthy)!

Ingredients
  • dash ground fennel seeds
  • dash ground cardamon
  • tiny,, tiny pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 clove
  • 1 petal of a star anise
  • dash onion salt
  • diced chilli, chilli oil or chilli sauce
  • dash fish sauce
  • big dash Tamara (gluten free soy sauce)
  • approx 400 ml beef stock, bone broth, or bone broth collagen **
  • 1/2 carrot
  • 1/2 zucchini
  • 1/4 pack Konjac noodles*** or precooked noodles of choice (always go organic pasta)
  • small piece pre cooked or raw grass fed beef fillet ***
  • handful coriander and mint
Method
  1. Add spices and sauces to stock and bring to boil
  2. Simmer around while preparing other ingredients
  3. Spiralise zucchini and carrot
  4. Finely slice beef
  5. Add carrot to broth
  6. A noodles to broth
  7. Add zucchini and steak to broth (zucchinis and steak should just be quickly warmed)
  8. Take off heat and remove clove and star anise
  9. Serve with herbs and lime to squeeze in if desired)

* Did you know you can reduce the rise in blood glucose levels by a whopping 50% by using     cooled then reheated pasta?
