Geeme is still around. Not sure if she is still making soup. I have made a cream of crab soup and French onion soup in the not so distant past. I think I am going to make a pot of Italian wedding soup this week. I have been craving it for a little while now. I might have to get stuff for that tomorrow too.

Im really in the mood for Oden, Odeng Tang or fish ball soup. The first 2 are very similar. Its your basic dashi stock with a little soy sauce, radish and green onion. The Chinese version is a chicken based stock and the fish balls are different.
I picked up the Korean fried fish balls the other day on sale. Sort of a variety pack but without the more classic flat fish cakes. Im thinking of a slight twist on the Korean/Japanese recipe with a little gochugaru and a little Chinese pickled mustard greens. Adding pepper flakes is not that uncommon in the street food versions. In China they add the pickled mustard greens to a simple soup made with pork.

JHP.
You of all people.
Forget the fact that you're a hard core meat guy.
And posting in a soup thread.
As I am.
Hypocrite me.
But you posted a pic of a cookbook.
It'd be like posting porn.
And who doesn't love porn?
But you don't tell anyone about it.
Now wheres the rest of that soupness?
You got one helluva beautiful stock going there.

A couple things I learned about pho:
1. Absolutely HAVE to char the onion & ginger.
2. It really pays to bring your bones up to a boil/turn off the heat/drain & scrub any funk from them before adding them back to the pot and THEN starting the soup. Your finished broth is so much clearer and less oily.
Culantro leaves are nice if you can find them, basil is a nice stand in or addition. Lime, bean sprouts, fresh herbs and sliced hot pepper of your choice to round out the garnish.
My wife loves the full on pho with tripe and tendon, etc. I can't abide too much of the funky bits, so I usually just add thinly sliced raw eye of round to the bowl before the hot broth goes in.

Yeah sure.
And I won't XXXX in your mouth.
I've told those lies before too.
Let's ease up a bit on vulgarities in food threads.
Buy costco rotisserie chicken, eat all you want and put the rest of the meat aside. Get celery, onions and carrots in a stock pot and char them, add 4 quarts of water and the rotisserie carcass and bring to boil, reduce to simmer until about 1/2 reduced. Salt and pepper to taste.ColdSmoke said:
Cook spaghetti in a separate pot, once done add some pasta to a bowl then ladle in the broth and enjoy.
I have allot of star anise but have not used it in years, a bit strong, maybe look into some recipes to use it

Speaking of which, noodles are seeping and bowl of yummy coming soon!
Pho seams to be the prime use then theirs cookies. Five Spice Powder uses Star anise, dont have any Sichuan peppers to make the mix.
Very nice prof looking
No, it is meatless but the broth was made from pork necks. I have made vegetarian and it is not complex or rich enough for me at the broth level.
Looks great! No such thing as vegan pho, the broth is the essence of the dish. Vietnamese soup it would be.
