Thai Chicken Coconut Soup or Chicken Coconut Pho

My husband and I love Thai and Vietnamese Food. After eating at several Thai and Vietnamese restaurants and trying their soups and pho I put together a few recipes to create this tasty dish. I hope you give it a try. This is the perfect soup for fall and winter.

There can be a lot of variations to this soup or pho. I'm giving you the basic ingredients which I made in a 6 quart slow cooker. Change out the ingredients for your favorites. This can be made on the stovetop as well.
