Vegetarian Pho (Vietnamese Noodle Soup)

The national soup of Vietnam is a bowl of rice noodles, fresh herbs, and bean sprouts swimming in a fragrant broth.
Beyond the antiviral, immune-boosting, and cholesterol-lowering properties of its shiitake mushrooms, this pho is loaded with garlic, which boasts antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral benefits. Cinnamon also has antifungal and antibacterial attributes, while ginger is a pain-reducing anti-inflammatory that fights nausea.
As soups go, this well-balanced and delicious favorite checks all the boxes. Plus, itβs super easy to make!
