Quoc Viet Foods Beef Flavored "Pho" Soup Base 10oz Cot Pho Bo Brand

I’ve wanted to make pho at home for ages, especially now that it’s getting colder. This powder delivers an unbelievably delicious broth that rivals restaurant quality. While a true restaurant broth is simmered for hours on bones and is likely more nutritious, this mix hits the spot perfectly. I don’t drink the broth on its own because it’s a powder, so it doesn’t offer the same health benefits as a bone‑based stock. However, the flavor is outstanding. It’s super easy to use just add water and you can scale the batch from a single bowl to 10 or even 20 bowls. I made a ten‑bowl batch, froze the broth, and now pull out portions every few days to make beef pho. The convenience and consistent quality are phenomenal. Pros: - Restaurant‑level taste - Easy, quick preparation - Scalable from 1 to 20 bowls - Freezes well for future meals Cons: - Lacks the nutritional benefits of a bone‑based broth Overall, this pho powder is a game‑changer for home cooks who want authentic flavor without the long simmer.

You must char an onion and ginger. Non negotiable. I didn’t have any raw beef to add into the broth so I used leftover frozen soup beef bones. Just 3 palm sized ones, and it gave the broth a beefy enough flavor. I put half of the soup base powder in at the beginning of simmering the meat, and one spice pouch in about 20 mins later. I simmered everything for a total of 1.5 hrs. It still wasn’t strong enough of a spice flavor around the 40 minute mark so I added two star anise, a pinch of fennel, and cloves. I also added a small piece of rock sugar, a tablespoon of Dasida beef powder, and fish sauce to taste at the very end (I like a salty broth in the pot because it guarantees it won’t get watered down by toppings and noodles.) It’s the best quick pho I’ve made. I just made a 15hr pho broth from scratch 4 days ago and this soup base method is so much more convenient for a super close flavor.

Quoc Viet Foods’ Beef Flavored "Pho" Soup is an instant, pantry-friendly take on Vietnamese pho. It’s convenient and approachable for quick meals. Taste & Aroma Broth: Mild and savory with clear beef notes, slightly sweet and lightly spiced (anise/cinnamon hints). Pleasant

A little goes a loooooong way. This was a unique, interesting product. It's like a powder but it's beef fact and flavorings. It's meant to make large quantities, but you can just add a single spoon and it's plenty to make broth - really salty if you add too much, but quite good. Comes with 2 spice bags that you could reuse a few times. Good overall.

A very nice flavor.

Tastes so good and similar to audentic Vietnam restaurant. Easy to cook. I love this!

Smelled like death. I love pho but this was terrible. Shouldn’t smell like something died to start your soup base I’ll go back to making my own.

This makes amazing broth! It's sold as a soup base with an all in recipe on the container, but I taste tasted my way into making the perfect cup of broth - 2 tsp for a big soup cup (so about 400ml of 70-80C water); about 30 calories, but it hits the trifecta for good broth: fatty, savoury and salty. That little bit of fat just gives it such a full flavour and it's absolutely what's missing in other broths. There's no storage instructions though I've been keeping mine in the fridge since I opened it (because of the fat content, I'd be worried about it going rancid). Happy to say that it's been a good month and it's still as good as when I bought it!

This pho soup base is my go-to! I used to spend a ton of money eating pho out, but now I make my own at home. By following the recipe, it tastes just like the restaurant—delicious, rich, and flavorful. Not only do I save money, but it’s also really easy to use. Highly recommend for any pho lover!

Very authentic, close to my favorite pho place broth. Simmered mine with sweet onions.

Good taste. Incredibly salty though.

Flavor is authentic restaurant level soup, easy to prepare, bye bye uber delivery
