This Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup is warming, nourishing and down right delicious. Using just simple whole-foods, plant-based ingredients, this oil-free recipe is ideal for Fall or Winter time when the weather starts to cool.

Chicken Noodle Soup used to be a mainstay in our home growing up, especially when any of us broke out with the cold or flu. As it turns out, eating soup to help heal a cold is not just an old wives tale. Warm broth can actually ease a sore throat, ward off dehydration and clear sinuses.

Of course when I went vegan, I needed to make an upgraded version of the old classic. In place of chicken, I use extra firm tofu. To kick the health factor up a notch, I also add mushrooms and kale to this soup which makes it amazingly hearty.

How To Make Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup Actually Taste Like Chicken

To make your vegan chicken noodle soup actually taste like the classic soup you grew up eating, you want to get your hands on poultry seasoning.

Poultry seasoning can be found in the regular spice isle of your grocery store, and is typically used in chicken, turkey and stuffing recipes. With hints of sage and rosemary, it really gives that traditional chicken soup flavor without the chicken!
