Quoc Viet Foods Vegetarian "Pho" Soup Base 10oz Cot Pho Chay Brand

Let me help you have a better experience and save you from complaining about the two gallon issue. This soup base is a powder. It is well combined. I make only one gallon at a time. I put a container on my food scale, zero the scale, weigh the powder, and then I divide the powder in half. The total weight is 300g. I use 150g and one gallon of water. It took 30 minutes to really bring the flavor together. At this point, ladle a serving or your desired amount of servings out into a separate pot leaving the rest of the phô broth to cool. In the pot with the servings that you plan to eat now, add your desired protein, vegetables and cooked rice noodles. Enjoy your meal. Once the remaining broth has cooled, portion it out in freezer safe containers and freeze. You can also place your leftover soup base powder in the freezer. One container can equal phô for weeks or months. Yes, it is salty. Add less base or use more water, skip the tamari or soy sauce. The flavor is strong enough that you could go either way. Personally, one high sodium meal is not going to hurt me. It’s very delicious.

Delicious pho stock. I have repurchase this base more than any other

When I go go Pho places that have blend veggie broths, I bring this one inside my bag and perform a little “Pimp my Pho”. 100% reccomend! 🤣

Flavor was really good. Waaaay salty with the recommended 2 gallons of H20 though. I ended up using 3 gallons and it turned out good. It really does taste pretty much the same as the veg pho broth I get at the local restaurant. It makes a lot of soup broth so unless you're planning on feeding 10 people, you're going to end up freezing most of it for later. Other than the massive quantity it makes and way over salty (which can be fixed with xtra H20), I thought it was really tasty! I'll probably buy it again.

It is exactly what it is simple and delicious. You do have to make the whole batch at one time because of the spice packets but honestly when I make it, everyone in the house knows that we’re eating pho for the next few days. I’m obsessed with it. I’m even happier I found a vegetarian version of it. ❤️

This is a really tasty soup base that I've made both Pho & Ramen with and had excellent results. The package states it's "vegetarian" but after reading the ingredients, my vegan daughter has no problems eating it. The only downside I see is that it's packaged as one container of powered base that yields 2 gallons. It comes with a sachet of seasoning you remove after boiling for 20 minutes and would be hard to break down into less. It's really geared towards commercial kitchens as you really don't have much of a way of cooking less than the entire 2 gallons at one time (and in one pot). As I don't even have a 2 gallon stock pot, I cook as per the instructions but only add 1 gallon of water. After it's done cooking, I freeze in 2 cup increments and when it's time to make soup, I thaw out one 2 cup container of this concentrate and add 2 cups of fresh water. That yields 4 cups of properly diluted broth suitable for cooking & tastes great.

Easy to make the 2 gallons and freeze what my vegetarian child couldn't consume by themself. They found it salty. I couldn't even drink more than a tablespoon of it because it was WAY TOO SALTY!! Granted, I tend to go lower on salt than the majority of Americans, but I can enjoy most restaurant food. Not this! Smelled so good, but flavor ruined by the huge amount of salt!

There is a local Thai restaurant that has excellent Pho soup. I wanted to try and make my own. I purchased this saoup base and followed the directions on the companies YouTube channel. My soup tasted exactly like the restaurant's Pho soup. I actually makes me wonder if they use this soup base?
