Equipment

  • 6 qt or larger slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 8 cups chicken or bone broth
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 oz dried shiitake mushroom
  • 1 tablespoon mined garlic
  • 1½ tablespoon fish sauce
  • 3 oz rice sticks or thin rice noodles
  • 1 teaspoon dried Thai basil
  • 8 oz bean sprouts
  • salt and pepper to taste if needed
  • chopped scallions
  • lime wedge

Instructions

  • I always use a slow cooker liner first to save on clean up
  • Put broth and chicken breasts into pot
    Broth with chicken and onion in a lined slow cooker
  • Add onion, shiitake mushrooms, fish sauce, garlic and basil
    All pho ingredients in crockpot before cooking
  • Stir to submerge mushrooms
  • Cook on low for 7 - 8 hours
  • Remove chicken from pot, shred and return to pot
  • If your mushrooms are overpowering the soup (as mine were) you can remove some at this point. If they are in large pieces, I would suggest cutting them in to smaller pieces.
