This Duck Soup Recipe is a popular Vietnamese recipe also known as Duck Pho Soup and it is sure to warm you up on a cold day.

Your going to want to cook your duck first and here is a fantastic Chinese Rotisserie Duck Recipe for cooking the perfect duck. 

This duck can also be done in the oven too!

Just be sure to save 1 breasts and the carcass etc once it has cooked for this soup stock that you will make from scratch for this delicious pho style soup!

It is just like something you would order in the restaurants.

Anyone can make Vietnamese food and this soup is no different. The difference between this soup and those that come from the street vendors in Vietnam is the same.

In Vietnam they make the stock from scratch which is very important and absolutely worth it.

Making any kind of Pho Soup from scratch will takes some time. If you are all familiar with beef pho soup then you will know that they simmer the beef bones for hours upon hours prior.

Nice thing is with this soup is that you can set it and forget it, just make sure you are covering the stock pot with a lid while cooking the stock.

My recipe will have this soup on the table for you in under 30 minutes. Once the stock has been made of course.

I encourage you to save your duck carcass for this stock/recipe. If you to are going to make this from scratch!

Otherwise you can look for a pho soup stock pre sold in the stores if you wish it just won’t be as rich as if you make your own stock. 

The more traditional Vietnamese Duck Soup contains radish and bamboo shoots.

My soup has bok choy, green onion and mushrooms instead. 

I just had to warm up to a big bowl of some today!

As I’m currently fighting a cold. Ugh, my first cold of the fall season has hit.

It always hit’s around this time!

So, this is the time of year where many different types of bone broth’s are simmering on the stove top. 

Today, it is duck broth that is so creamy and delicious!

HOW TO MAKE DUCK SOUP BONE BROTH

• I will use the carcUs from a duck that I either baked or rotisserie the night prior to make the stock.
• Once the broth has simmered for the half the day, the remaining parts of making the soup come together in no time. 
• You can also make this soup in your slow cooker or pressure cooker too!

Making this soup and excellent choice for the whole family!

As this recipe, makes enough soup for 3 large bowls or 4 medium sized bowls. 

If your a fan of Vietnamese pho soup!

But have not tried the duck version, then your in for a treat! It offers a delicious oily texture allot like pork pho does.
