Vietnamese soup.

Rush Limbaugh mused as to why Liberals  demonstrate and Conservatives do not. He concluded that Liberal demonstrations are driven by hate and Conservatives do not hate. Well, there is an exception to that: we do hate the Press. Supercilious, sanctimonious fakers they are, anti-American, anti-white and anti-Christian. But, that is why we DESPISE them. Our hatred for Liberal members of the Press is due to their complicity in extinguishing freedom in Vietnam. That we will never forgive them. After 50,000 American casualties and a lot more Vietnamese that perished at the hands of the Communists and later in the sea, there is no forgiveness for the Liberal betrayal of the people of Vietnam and America's lost soldiers.

Was Vietnam a total loss? No. We got some wonderful people that came to us as refugees and most of them  did not join the Democrats who sounded to them  suspiciously like the Viet Cong that tormented them. Oh and there was another thing we gained: the knowledge of how to make Pho soup.

Pronunciation of PHO varies. One lady told me it is pronounced as in  'foe.' Another lady told me that it is "phah" that I need to describe so you can fully appreciate. Imagine that you are 10 years old and are just starting to drop the F-bomb. Halfway through, your Mother looks at you and the rest of the word dies unsaid. I prefer the foe pronunciation.

Pho is basically a spiced broth served with rice noodles and chopped (uncooked) vegetables. The broth is made with beef knuckle bones that are simmered for 5-6 hours, so fresh pho is consumed for breakfast (or so I am told). We make the pho in a pressure cooker that reduces the cooking time to 75 minutes, but preparation takes some doing anyway.

Ingredients for the broth.

About 2 lbs beef bones or pork bones with some meat on them
2 medium yellow onions
about an inch and a half ginger
2 TBSP canola oil
3 5 -star anise pods
6 whole cloves
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp fennel seed
1 cinnamon stick

Preparation of the broth.

1. Slice the onions and the ginger, oil a pan and broil till onions blacken
2. Add to Instapot along with the spices and 12 cups water
3. Pressure cook for 75 minutes.
4. Remove beef or pork pieces and save the meat.
5. Strain the broth and discard everything but the broth.

Serving.
 1. Prepare rice noodles according to instructions and use some in each bowl. Pho bowls look big and deep.
2. Chop up or slice  some vegetables to add (Can use green peppers, cabbage and green onions).
3. Add 1/4 lime and some cilantro.
4. Add some hot sauce or siraccha to each bowl as preferred.
Original recipe calls foe adding bean sprouts.
