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.
