Yes! It can be done!! It is entirely possible to make tasty vegan chicken noodle soup!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 onion
- 1 – 2 tbsp Earth Balance butter
- 1 cup chopped carrot
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 box vegetable broth
- 4 oz linguine
- 1 cup chopped vegan chicken (I used Morning Star Farms Chicken Strips)
- pepper (to taste)
Cook the onion and Smart Balance butter for 5 minutes on medium heat. The onion should soften.
Add the carrots, celery, and enough broth to cover. I keep celery chopped in the freezer, and I added it in frozen. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 15 min.
These are the vegan chicken strips, chopped. I didn’t warm them up or defrost them. I just let them sit on the counter while I cooked the veggies.
Add the linguine (break it up into 2-3 in. lengths if you like), the chicken, pepper (to taste), and the remainder of the broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 25-30 min.
This is right after I added the pasta, chicken, pepper, and broth.
Finished! You can see how the broth reduced.
The close-up!
