Vietnamese Beef Pho with Wontons - Immunity Booster Bone Broth Soup without the Bones

Soups are great for when you're not feeling well and need an extra boost. Bone broth soups have been very popular. But what do you do when you don't have bones? You can still get the same taste and benefit from simply using great ingredients. My 'Vietnamese Beef Pho with Wonton' is a family favourite. Made with premium steak, onions, garlic and ginger, its the perfect vitamin and immune booster to help you get an extra kick out of your day.  Savory and delicious, filled with aromatic cinnamon spice this authentic Vietnamese take on bone broth soup is the easiest way to make pho at home. 

Cinnamon is anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial, long with ginger and garlic, the trio helps fight inflammation and improve immunity. Give this simple and easy recipe a try!
