Phois a
Vietnamese soup that is a staple of Vietnamese cuisine and culture. The
word phosounds
close to the sound "phuh" to English speakers and the "ph" is said as
the /f/ sound. In Vietnamese, the proper pronunciation must
be said with the accurate fluctuation of high and low tones of voice.
Many Vietnamese people eat phofor breakfast rather than as an evening meal. Phocan be made
in more than 20 variations, but always has either a flavorful beef
broth or a chicken broth base.
