Cut the onion and put in the pot. Add the garlic, chopped ginger and turmeric, cinnamon, cloves, anise stars, and bouillon cubes in the pot and fill the pot with water.

If making sos free, eliminate the cubes and water and just add broth.

Bring to a boil, and then lower heat and cover for 30-40 minutes.

Meanwhile cook the rice noodles according to the box directions, and then put aside.

Wash, slice, chop any veggies you will be adding to the soup and put aside.

Once the broth is ready, strain into a bowl through a colander. Keep the onions and garlic from the broth, if you’d like to add it to the pho.

Put together by adding the noodles to your pho bowl, the onions/garlic, a squeeze of lime and the wedge. Ladle the soup into the bowl and then add the remaining toppings. Enjoy!
