Vegan “Chicken” Noodle Soup
Due to the temperatures dropping lately I’ve been all about creating effortless soups. There are so many staples to cover and this one has been on my bucket list for a long time! Chicken noodle soup was timeless and everyone views it as a staple comfort food. Today you can easily throw in some tofu or jackfruit or faux chicken if you’re wanting more of an exact replication of this dish..
It’s just that easy!!
So what sets this soup apart from others?! It packs so much flavor!! While many would envision that the soup derives its flavor from the chicken, it’s truly all about the herbs. If you know me, herbs are my go to’s for everything. Many times when I’m selecting things at the market, I go heavy on the herbs and the rest works itself out. Whether you splurged and use fresh or stick with the dried, you just can’t go wrong.
What’s fab about this soup, is everything! It’s quick, easy, filling, affordable, veggie packed, flavor packed, perf for winter, can easily be made in bulk, you can throw in tofu or any other meat substitute, and with the first sip it will be like taking a walk down memory lane.
