  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 Servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 boxes (32 oz each) chicken broth
  • 1 package Lipton Soup Mix (recipe)
  • 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon mix
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 package pho noodles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pho Noodles: 
    • Before starting your soup, soak the pho noodles in warm water for about 20 minutes, or according to the package instructions. Once they’ve softened, drain and set aside.
    • For best results, cook the noodles in a separate pan from your soup to prevent them from becoming too mushy. When ready to serve, simply place the noodles in your bowl, and pour the hot soup over them.
  2. Prepare the Soup Base:
    • In a large pot, add the two boxes of chicken broth, Lipton soup mix, and chicken bouillon. Stir until well combined.
    • Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook the Chicken:
    • While the broth is heating up, thinly slice the chicken breasts. (A Utility Knife, like the one from Pampered Chef, makes slicing chicken much easier)
    • Once the broth is boiling, add the sliced chicken, onion, and mushrooms to the pot. Stir occasionally and allow the chicken to fully cook. This should take about 5-7 minutes depending on how thinly the chicken is sliced.
  4. Combine and Serve:
    • After the chicken is cooked through, turn off the heat.
    • In each bowl, add a serving of soaked and drained pho noodles. Ladle the hot soup with chicken, mushrooms, and broth over the noodles.
    • Stir, and serve immediately.

Enjoy your Pho Inspired Chicken Soup, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal!
