Vietnamese Beef Meatballs Soup

Jump to Recipe

Vietnamese Beef Meatballs Soup and why not? I have all the reason to make this soup just because 1. I am craving it 2. My children have nothing but beef noodles phrase spewing from their mouths and 3. I need to use my left over meatballs in the freezer. And I think those are valid reasons.

Vietnamese Beef Meatballs Soup

I am ready. I gathered all my courage to face my demons...demons of  spending, that is.  I really need to conquer it... I have to face it, it is now or never. I need to control myself. I need to stop going to my most favorite Vietnamese restaurant on my days off and spend  $ 9.00 per bowl of Vietnamese Beef Meatballs Soup. Every time I go there and spend that amount of money, I have a pang of guilt because spending that much for a small bowl of soup is utter foolishness. Yes, I'm aware it costs too much, but who listens to one's conscience anyway when confronted with soup yearning. I must have my fill or else I will grouchy like an untamed mother lion.

BUT TODAY IS DIFFERENT... so many times I have failed this quest but this time is different. I have resolved to win!!

As I am about to open the door of the restaurant, which I am not supposed to be anyway, I turned around and went straight ahead to the nearby Asian store and bought all the needed Vietnamese Beef Meatballs Soup ingredients which cost me $3.00 for 2 lbs for a bag of beef bones for my noodle's broth. As I drove away,  I saw the sign of the restaurant in the corner of my eye with the Vietnamese Beef Meatballs Soup images flashing through my head, I was in despair and proud at the same time. Proud that I controlled myself, in despair that since I decided to make my beef noodle soup, I have  to wait for the next day to have my Vietnamese Beef Meatballs Soup fill. AND I ALSO FELT LIKE WINNER. I just save money today. With the ingredients I bought, I made 5 Vietnamese Beef Meatballs Soup noodle bowls plus leftover and I felt proud of myself...

I am not saying that I will not go back to my fav Vietnamese restaurant because I now know how to make my own Vietnamese Beef Meatballs Soup. Instead, I have an option to make my own and save a bit of money sometimes.
