Thai-Pho Fusion Beef Noodle Soup

Thai-Pho Fusion Beef Noodle Soup is something we came up with for a friend who likes pho.  I researched a little to see how similar a Thai beef noodle soup was to a Vietnamese Pho.  Turns out they are super similar.  There are common ingredients like fish sauce, and pretty much everything so I just used healthier ingredients with less saturated fat and sodium.  I also added the typical vegetables you get with pho.
