A bright and cozy One-Pot Vegan Lemon Turmeric “Chicken” Noodle Soup made with gluten-free noodles, fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, zesty lemon, turmeric, and savory plant-based chicken. This cozy, one-pot, vegan soup is nourishing, comforting, and ready in under 40 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup sweet yellow onion, diced
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup celery, diced (2-3 celery stalks)
- 1 cup mini carrots, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 10 ounces plant-based chicken
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 8 cups (64 ounces) vegetable broth
- 8 ounces gluten-free noodles (I used mafalda noodles)
- 1/4-1/3 cup lemon juice (use 1/3 cup for a more zingy soup flavor)
- fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, celery, and carrots. Add the salt and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened.
-
Stir in the dried thyme and oregano. Cook for another minute or two then add the plant-based chicken, nutritional yeast, turmeric. Simmer for 10 minutes, until the plant chicken is fully cooked.
-
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil.
-
Add the gluten-free noodles directly into the pot. Cook according to package instructions, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- After the noodles are soft (but not mushy!) reduce heat and stir in the lemon juice. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Spoon the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy warm with optional slices of gluten-free bread.
Store in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Add extra broth when reheating as noodles absorb liquid.
Notes

Gluten-free noodles soak up the broth very quickly, so this soup is best enjoyed right away.
If you’re planning to store soup for leftovers, I suggest cooking the noodles separately. If you store the soup with the cooked noodles, it’s still delicious reheated, but you may want to add extra broth.
