Can you make vegetarian pho with vegetable broth from the store??
Yes you can, I used to make this for my vegetarian husband. There are key spices that make up the flavor of pho. The two spices that are really important are cinnamon and star anise. Also garlic, ginger, sugar, and sweet basil. If you simmer all these together with the veggie broth you will have an extremely close taste to that of beef based pho. As for meat you can use tofu, but Morningstar Farms makes a beef strip substitute that works absolutely perfect. Also the beef flavor from the fake meat blends well into the broth while you are simmering it. Hope this helps!
