Vegan Jackfruit Chicken Noodle Soup
Vegan Jackfruit Chicken Noodle Soup uses young jackfruit as a plant-based substitute for shredded chicken, simmered with vegetables and pasta. The jackfruit soaks up a seasoned broth, then is browned and shredded to mimic chicken texture. The soup combines carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and vegan bouillon, creating a hearty broth with tender noodles included for a comforting meal.

Ingredients
- 1 jackfruit in brine, 20-ounce can
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 talk celery
- 1 small onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 bouillon cubes vegan
- 1 cup pasta noodles dry
- 8 cups of water
Instructions
- To make the "chicken" you'll want to open and drain the can of jackfruit and add that to a bowl. Add in two cups of boiling water and one bouillon cube. Let that sit for an hour or so. The idea here is that the jackfruit soaks in some of that flavor. Once you've let it sit for a while, then fire up the stove. In a skillet, add a couple of tablespoons of oil. We use sunflower or safflower oil because their flavors are mild and won't interfere with our seasoning. Carefully add the jackfruit and fry until each side browns. Save that broth. Once the jackfruit browns, you'll want to take a couple of forks to shred it.
- Once it is all shredded then add the other bouillon cube to the saved cup of broth. Add this to the skillet and simmer until most of the liquid is cooked off. At this point, your "chicken" is ready for the soup. You can roast it in your oven to toughen up the texture a bit more if desired.
- For the rest of the soup, you only need to make some Mirepoix, add the "chicken" and more broth, and whatever noodles you prefer.

Notes
- Pre-prepared vegetables or minced garlic can save preparation time.
- Allowing the soup to rest overnight improves its flavor as ingredients meld.
- To avoid mushy noodles, cook pasta separately and add before serving.
- Use young, green jackfruit packed in brine for the best texture and neutral taste.
