Can I substitute the angel hair noodles with gluten-free options?

Yes! Use roasted spaghetti squash noodles for a gluten-free version, or try gluten-free pasta shapes like mini shells or rice noodles. Just adjust cooking time based on the package instructions.

What if I can't find celery or parsley root?

While these roots add amazing depth to the vegan vegetable noodle soup, you can substitute parsley root with a parsnip and add extra celery ribs plus a handful of fresh parsley stems to the broth for similar earthy flavors.

Can I add protein to this vegan soup?

Absolutely! Soak soy curls in hot water for 20 minutes, drain and squeeze out excess water, then shred them into thin strips. Add them to the pot during the last 15 minutes of simmering for a shredded chicken texture.

Why is my broth not flavorful enough?

Make sure you're simmering the vegetables for the full hour and that your broth reduces slightly. This concentrates the flavors. Also, don't skimp on the salt at the end (2-3 teaspoons total) because proper seasoning is key.

Instructions

Add onion, parsley root (or parsnip), celery root, celery ribs, carrots, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, peppers, tomato, and peppercorns to large stock pot. Fill with 3 quarts filtered water and bring to simmer. Add garlic and onion powders, partially cover, and cook on low for 45 minutes until vegetables are fork-tender and broth reduces slightly to about 2.5 quarts.
Stir in turmeric (if using) and nutritional yeast. Simmer another 15 minutes to develop umami flavor.
Remove and discard bay leaves, thyme sprigs, onion, and garlic. Dice and return parsley root and celery root to soup if desired, or strain broth for clear soup. Season with 2-3 teaspoons sea salt (start with 1 and adjust) and black pepper to taste.
Bring broth to simmer and add only the angel hair noodle nests needed for immediate serving (about 1 nest per 2 servings). Cook 3-4 minutes until al dente, taking care not to overcook.
Ladle hot soup into bowls and top with fresh Italian parsley and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Celery and parsley root add deep garden flavors. Parsley root can be substituted with parsnip plus extra fresh parsley stems.
Use only a pinch of turmeric for color. Too much will alter the classic soup flavor.
For shredded chicken texture: soak soy curls in hot water 20 minutes, drain, squeeze dry, shred into strips, add in last 15 minutes of cooking.
Store broth and noodles separately to prevent noodles from getting soggy. Broth keeps 3-4 days refrigerated or 3 months frozen.
Cook noodles only for portions you’ll serve immediately. Takes just 3-4 minutes to cook fresh noodles in reheated broth.
Can replace noodles with cooked grains (brown rice, farro, barley), chickpeas, or golden potatoes.
