Vietnamese Soup Recipes

A delicious vegan version of a noodlehouse favorite- yum!

My husband's mother used to make this rice soup for him and his siblings when they weren't feeling well. It's a very simple but delicious soup.

"A whole chicken is cut up and simmered with potatoes, onion, shallots, garlic, ginger and lemon grass and seasoned with curry powder, kaffir lime and red pepper flakes in this coconut-milk enriched soup."

From Nigella Lawson.

We made this recipe for a school social studies project my son was doing many years ago on Viet Nam. I only recently discovered that what I knew as Vietnamese Beef Soup was actually the Pho which is the main attraction at so many Viet-Thai restaurants around the city these days.

Warming quick soup

Gret hearty soup - I use the Lite Coconut milk and also some lemon zest.

This is a delicious, low-fat version of the spicy beef soup served in Vietnamese restaurants around the world.

It's a fairly quick and easy dish to prepare and cook, but you need to serve it straight away so the noodles don't get too squishy!

This recipe can be made in a slow cooker or on the stove top (set to low). If you cook it on the stove top, be sure to stir occasionally to avoid any burning on the bottom.

Also, please feel free to add more or less coconut milk, lime juice, jalapeno and herbs to suit your taste!
