Today we are making Súp Nui Sườn Heo aka Vietnamese Macaroni Soup with Pork.

This dish is very nostalgic as I grew up eating this often. It’s a very simple noodle soup recipe made from pork bones with hearty vegetables. It’s kind a like a pork version of a chicken noodle soup.

The thing that makes this different than normal noodle soup is because we use rice macaroni instead of American pasta macaroni. It takes a lot longer to cook, but the texture is much more soft. It’s one of my favorite noodle textures.

The soup is very forgiving and you can mix and match your vegetables. I sometimes use this like a leftover soup using whatever vegetables I have left in the fridge. It’s the perfect soup for warming up the soul and filling the bellies!
