Pho is one of the 20 best soups in the world.

Janet Clarkson, author of "Soup: A Global History," says soup is one of the oldest and most popular foods in the world.

“Every cuisine has some form of soup. It has very ancient roots,” she writes in the book, noting that early humans boiled it in everything from tortoise shells to long bamboo strips, all the way up to the invention of metal soup pots in the Bronze Age.

Nowadays, soups are more diverse, there are clear broth soups and also soups that are stewed for a long time... CNN's list of the 20 best soups in the world includes the following famous Asian dishes:

Forming – or pulling – the la mian noodles by hand for this traditional soup is an art in itself. Craftsmen use high-gluten wheat flour and finely milled alkaline flour to create a pliable dough, then stretch and fold each piece of dough to make enough noodles for a bowl of soup. The dish consists of a beef broth with tender beef, light radish slices, chili oil and fresh herbs.
