Vegan pho is a plant‑based version of Vietnam’s famous noodle soup, using a broth cooked with mushrooms, ginger, onions, soy sauce, cloves, cinnamon, coriander seeds and black cardamom spices.

The dish is made by pouring hot broth over blanched flat rice noodles and adding toppings such as bean sprout, tofu, mushrooms, and sliced chili.

Other ingredients may include leek, carrot, and bok choy, and fruits such as apples.

The pho is usually topped with fresh coriander and served with vegan fish sauce on the side.

Topping the list is Iran's zeytoon parvardeh, an olive-based appetizer made with green olives, pomegranate molasses, walnuts, garlic, and herbs.

It is followed by Lebanon's hummus, made with mashed chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic.

Rounding out the top three is Turkey's domates çorbasi, a traditional tomato soup.
