Preparation
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and become fragrant.
Step 2
Pour in the vegan chicken-style broth and bring to a gentle boil.
Step 3
Add your preferred pasta shape directly to the broth. Cook according to the package instructions, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4
While the pasta cooks, heat a little olive oil in a separate frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegan chicken pieces and sauté until lightly golden and crisp around the edges.
Step 5
When the pasta is almost cooked through, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Add the sautéed vegan chicken pieces and cook everything together for another 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 6
Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each serving gets plenty of vegetables, pasta, and vegan chicken. Finish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
