Now, for what you’ve been waiting for – an easy pressure cooker pho ga recipe that takes less than 40 minutes to make! Seriously, if you have never had pho before, it is this delicious broth with noodles and (in my version) chicken! I love how I can use Swanson® Chicken Broth because it is 100% natural with perfectly balanced flavors! This might be a great Christmas Eve recipe that you can share with your family if you are looking for something non-traditional this holiday season!
