This vegan chicken noodle soup is so warm and comforting you will want to have it every day. It is flavorful and super easy to make, and it will make you feel better if you’re sick.
I love that it is ready in just 30 minutes and that it’s healthy and nutritious as well as delicious. Besides, it is so versatile that you can customize it with your favorite ingredients. Anyhow, it is always delicious!
How to make vegan chicken noodle soup
- Heat the oil in a large pot.
- Add the veggies and the vegan chicken pieces and simmer over medium-high heat until golden brown.
- Incorporate the rest of the ingredients (except the pasta), stir, and bring to a boil. Then add the pasta and cook over medium-high heat for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaves, and serve your vegan chicken noodle soup immediately.
Vegan chicken noodle soup ingredients and tips
- Extra virgin olive oil: I’m Spanish, so I use extra virgin olive oil to cook most of my dishes. However, any type of oil is okay. I always use extra virgin oils when possible because they’re healthier.
- Carrot.
- Celery.
- Onion.
- Garlic.
- Vegan chicken pieces: any brand of vegan chicken pieces will work (use them gluten-free if needed). You could also use other sources of plant-based protein like seitan, tempeh, tofu, or even legumes (chickpeas work great for this recipe), but I do suggest you make your own vegan chicken at home. It’s so delicious!
- Salt: I used ionized salt, but any salt will do.
- Ground black pepper: fresh ground black pepper tastes amazing. However, I find the store-bought version to be more convenient and also easier to measure with a teaspoon.
- Poultry seasoning: you can use it store-bought or make your own version following our super simple recipe!
- Bay leaves.
- Vegetable stock: making your own vegetable broth at home is the best idea, but feel free to buy it at the store if you want.
- Vegan noodles: use gluten-free pasta if needed. I used fusilli, but any type of noodles will do.

- 2 bay leaves
- 4 cups vegetable stock (1 liter)
- 4 oz vegan noodles (115 g), gluten-free if needed, I used fusilli
Instructions

This was so nice! Honestly the nicest thing I have cooked in a long time! I didn’t have poultry seasoning but when i googled it I had all of the herbs separately anyway. I’m in the UK so used Quorn chicken fillets and then shredded/cut them up 🙂

Hi! That sounds so good! For the next time, here you have our poultry seasoning recipe 🙂
This recipe was delicious! I didn’t have any poultry seasoning or vegan chicken pieces, but I used “chicken” styled soup boullion cubes instead. Next time I would use more water/broth, but other than that it was perfect! Thanks for the recipe 🙂

Hi Derrick!! It is great to know you liked it!! Thank you so much!
I’ve made this several times – it’s fast and easy and my teen son likes it. I made changes based on what I had. I used No Chicken better than bouillon (skipped the poultry seasoning and bay leaves), added a little Italian seasoning…skipped the vegan chicken because it’s expensive and I’m not a fan of faux meat, gluten free brown rice fusilli – and I always use more water and pasta adjusting the bouillon as needed. I always add more carrots, celery, pasta and water than called for. Oh and I skip the oil and use water – I don’t like greasy soup and oil makes me ill. Thank you for the simple recipe.
