Ingredient Notes

  • Noodles – you can use any noodles like rice noodles or pasta noodles. We used Chinese stir fry noodles.
  • Vegan chicken – you can use any vegan chicken either chopped up small or shredded. We used vegan chicken strips that we chopped up small. You could even make your own homemade vegan chicken.
  • Vegan chicken spice – or vegan poultry seasoning. Many brands of chicken spice or poultry seasoning are already vegan by ingredient, so just check the label.
  • Coconut cream – we used canned, unsweetened coconut cream. You can also use canned, unsweetened coconut milk. Or you can omit it entirely.
  • Vegan chicken stock – or vegan chicken broth such as Better than Bouillon‘no-chicken’ broth is perfect to use here. Alternatively you can use vegetable stock or vegetable broth.

Serving Suggestions

This vegan chicken noodle soup is a meal in itself when served topped with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley and ground black pepper, with some delicious crusty bread on the side for dipping.

If you’re in the mood to make some fresh homemade bread then try our vegan focaccia or whole wheat bread.

A side salad would also be a great addition and our vegan Greek salad or vegan chickpea salad would fit the bill perfectly.

Storing and Freezing

Keep leftovers stored in a covered container in the fridge and enjoy within 3-4 days. It can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.

If you know you want to freeze this soup then it’s best not to add the noodles. The broth can be frozen for 3-4 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge, reheat on the stove and add the noodles.

    My wife was sick and just wanted some chick’n noodle soup. So, found this Loving it Vegan since you have never let us down on a good recipe. Didn’t have any chick’n in the freezer so subbed tiny cubed tofu salted and pan seared before adding to the soup and used some Fusilli pasta we had on hand! Thanks for another great recipe! ❤️Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup (17)

    This soup is so good. I added chickpeas instead of the faux chicken. I could have eaten the entire pot in one sitting! I have made other recipes from this site and all have been great.Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup (20)

    This soup is going into my weekly lunch rotation. It’s perfect! I substituted jackfruit as my “chicken” but that’s my only change. The recipe is fantastic, thank you! My husband loved it. He said it tastes like Whole Foods smells. That’s a high compliment because who doesn’t love the smell of Whole Foods?Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup (31)
