Vietnamese Phở with mushrooms and tofu

On cold autumn days there is nothing I want more than to warm myself up with a nice warm, hearty soup!

There is something very comforting about soups, don’t you think? Today I decided to make this delicious Vietnamese Phở, which is actually more commonly eaten for breakfast in Vitenam.

The dish is served around every street corner in the country, as many people actually eat their breakfast out before they go to work.

But this noodle broth soup is just as delicious to enjoy for dinner, I promise! 😉
