A comforting and hearty vegan twist on classic chicken noodle soup, featuring savory broth, vegetables, vegan chicken substitute, and noodles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 8 cups vegetable broth

  • 8 oz vegan chicken substitute, shredded or diced
  • 6 oz noodles (egg-free), such as fusilli or rotini
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Pour in vegetable broth, then add thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Stir to combine, and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  6. Remove bay leaf and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can use tofu or soy curls as the vegan chicken substitute.
  • For gluten-free soup, use gluten-free noodles.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 4 days; add extra broth when reheating if noodles absorb liquid.
