Pho with Rare Steak and Lean Brisket from Pho Nguyen

Maybe you aren’t a fan of traditional soup or you’re in the mood to try something new. If that’s the case, you need to head over to Pho Nguyen! Located at 17th Street in Kokomo, Pho Nguyen is Kokomo’s premier Vietnamese restaurant. If you don’t know, pho is a type of soup that usually consists of bone broth, rice noodles, spices, and thinly sliced meat — and it’s DELICIOUS.

Caldo de Pollo

El Borrego might be known for its epic tacos, but if you're sleeping on the Caldo De Pollo, you're missing out. This soup comes in a giant bucket, filled with flavorful chicken broth, rustic potatoes and carrots and a small ear of corn -- plus an entire bone-in chicken thigh. On the side is a plate of finely chopped cilantro, onions, lime wedges, dried peppers and corn tortillas to top this delicious, homestyle dish. Our office always adds a bit of El Borrego's hot sauce to give the soup an extra kick, but it's great with or without spice.

El Borrego Carniceria y Taqueria is located at 314 S. Union St., Kokomo
