Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup

soup

If I had to pick a favorite Asian cuisine, it would be Vietnamese. I think it’s a combination of the climate of the country and the French influence that seems to have really set Vietnamese food apart from other Asian countries. Almost all Vietnamese food is light, healthy and so fresh, like this noddle soup.

Vietnamese noodle soup was my first encounter with Vietnamese cuisine. I use to go to lunch at least once a week with a good friend, and we would enjoy this beautiful soup at a local restaurant. It was so fresh and full of veggies, and so good. Loving it so much, I quickly learned to make my own version at home. It’s a quick and easy soup, and makes a hearty meal that’s not full of fat and calories.
