About this recipe

I find this vegan chicken noodle soup to be incredibly comforting and delicious. It reminds me of the authentic chicken noodle soup I used to eat growing up. My recipe differs significantly – it is much more flavorful than the original and vegan-friendly.

I also add miso as a secret ingredient to boost the soup’s umami flavor and nutritional benefits. Miso is a fermented paste commonly used in Japanese cuisine known for its unique flavor and numerous health benefits. Miso is rich in beneficial bacteria, known as probiotics, and it is packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins (such as B vitamins), minerals (like manganese, copper, and zinc), and antioxidants. It also contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source for vegetarians and vegans.

Ingredients needed

  • Vegan butter, feel free to substitute with olive or other vegetable oil.
  • Carrots peeled and diced, about one cup
  • Celery stalks, diced
  • Garlic and onion
  • Herbs: bay leaf, thyme and dill
  • Vegetable broth and water. If you wish, you could use vegan chicken or vegetable bouillon.
  • Pasta noodles such as Cappellini or orzo are best for a satisfying bite. If you need to use gluten-free pasta, I recommend cooking the pasta ahead of time and adding it to the soup just before serving, or you could serve it with brown rice.
  • Vegan chicken: I like Daring vegan chicken, but you could use chickpeas or other beans if preferred.

How to make chicken noodle soup

  1. Start with the Base: In a large pot, heat the vegan butter over medium heat. Add chopped carrots, celery, minced garlic, and diced onion. Add the miso.
  2. Cook Until Golden: Stir the vegetables occasionally, cooking until the onion becomes translucent and the edges start to brown slightly.
  3. Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and water—season with salt and pepper.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Add your pasta choice into the mix and add your fresh herbs. Reduce the heat to low, and let everything simmer for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is cooked through.
  5. Add the chicken, vegan chicken, or beans.
  6. Serve Hot: Enjoy your hearty, nourishing vegan noodle chicken soup bowl with lemon slices (yes, thinly sliced lemons) and more fresh herbs!

How to Store Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup

If you find yourself with leftovers (which is highly likely because it’s so delicious), here’s how to store them:

  • Allow the soup to cool to room temperature.
  • Transfer it to an airtight container.
  • Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
  • Reheat on the stovetop or microwave when ready for another comforting bowl. Taste before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed.
