The Best vegan chicken noodle soup recipe

I have been making this vegan chicken noodle soup for years and it is one of those recipes that everyone in my family loves. Even my kids who can be picky eaters ask for seconds when I make this. It has all the comfort of the classic soup but uses plant based ingredients that make it lighter and easier to digest.

The secret is using jackfruit to mimic the shredded chicken texture and a rich vegetable broth with herbs like thyme and rosemary. The noodles soak up all that savory flavor and it is perfect for cold days or when someone is feeling under the weather. I also love that it is packed with vegetables and fiber so it is a healthy meal that fills you up without weighing you down.
