Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup

Head's up, there might be affiliate links ahead!

This recipe is for my vegan-eaters and plant-based enthusiasts.  If you’re missing the chewy texture of meat, you might like this soup as an alternative.

I’m a warm weather girl, and my inner princess is expressing a strong need to head to Cabo for a few days of much-needed sunshine.  Gone are the days of my espresso brown competition tan, for now, my skin is a fine shade mozzarella.  So far my husband’s not buying my pleas of desperation, but I’ll wear him down.

I have my ways… moooaaa haa haa haa haa.

Meanwhile, just cuz I love ya, I’m passing along a little something that will warm the cockles of your heart (much like a stiff shot of brandy might do).

If you’re too lazy to cook, just stick with the brandy and send me some warm thoughts and some positive “get-your-ass-to-cabo” vibes.

BTW, this soup was made with those calorie free noodles, so it’s completely guilt-free and tasty as hell.

Yes, I’m open to taking thanks in the form of plane tickets…. preferably S to Cabo San Lucas.

Any takers?

PS…. um, does anyone actually know what a cockle is?
