With colds and the flu traveling around this winter, we could all use a bit of comfort food. This easy vegetarian pho recipe is simple enough to throw together even when you’re feeling under the weather. Also, it’s packed with lots of immune-boosting nutrients that are sure to either help maintain your health, or nourish you back to it! 
 
The recipe includes garlic and ginger, which I always recommend as rich sources of powerful antioxidants.
