With more than twenty standard recipe variations, a traditional vegetarian pho recipe is a Vietnamese broth-based noodle soup which can be prepared with a wide assortment of vegetables, noodles, herbs and seasonings according to chef preference. Although ingredients fluctuate, most vegetarian pho creations typically include some arrangement of ginger, star anise, rice noodles, green onion, watercress, bean sprouts, lemon/lime wedges, thai basil, and/or hoisin sauce.

If you've got thirty minutes (give or take a few extra on some recipes), you've got time to make a delicious vegetarian pho recipe! Let's take a look at some examples of a vegetarian pho recipe, and what some of the experts have done with their veggie pho dishes.
