Homestyle Noodle Soup (Vegan/Vegetarian)

"I'd been looking for a while for a good, wholesome and tasty chicken noodle soup without the chicken. Many of my friends are vegans and vegetarians, and since soup is my favorite comfort food, I thought that that having some dishes in my repertoire to cook for them was important. This is one of the best chicken noodle soup recipes, in my opinion, and the great thing about it is that it can easily be enjoyed by both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. I made it by blending a couple old-fashioned chicken noodle and vegetarian noodle recipes with my own and doing multiple taste-tests. See my original Homestyle Noodle Soup recipe for the poultry-lovers version!"

  1. This hit the spot! For the broth, I used Recipe #401320. I added about two cups cooked rice instead of the noodles, and a package of firm (pre-frozen then thawed) tofu cut into cubes. I also added a couple of pinches of dill weed. Both of my kids ate heaping bowlfuls...this will be a new favorite around here!
     
  2. i make something very similar to this since discovering mccormack's brand vegan broth cubes that are SO tasty. you can thicken it a little if you like by mixing a couple spoonfuls of cornstarch with water and stirring in the slurry. in my area at least you can also get a very decent veg substitute for cooked chicken that i add cut in little chunks. try with leeks for an interesting change

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I've been cooking since I was five years old, when I learned how to boil water and toss in Ramen noodles. Since I have friends who tremble at the mere thought of boiling water, I think being able to cook your own meal, no matter how simple, is important.
