Method
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
- Add Garlic and Vegan Chicken: Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Then, add the vegan chicken pieces and sauté for a few more minutes until everything is well mixed and fragrant.
- Pour in the Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot. Stir in the thyme, parsley, rosemary, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add the Noodles: Stir in your uncooked noodles and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
- Finish with Lemon: For an added burst of flavor, squeeze in some fresh lemon juice just before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with extra herbs if desired, and enjoy your comforting Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup!
Notes
When I cooked this Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup, I found that adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end really brightens the whole dish. It’s a small touch, but it makes a big difference in flavor! Also, if you want a richer soup, you can add a few tablespoons of nutritional yeast for a cheesy, savory kick.
