Why Do You Use Tofu in Your "Chicken" Noodle Soup?
Tofu is a great replacement for chicken because the texture is similar. Additionally, one of the best parts about vegan food is that there is no dealing with raw meat, which means less chance of food-borne illnesses and a faster cook time!
If you are avoiding soy, you can replace it with pumpkin tofu or leave it out entirely.
What Are Soup Mix Freezer Bags and How Do I Make Them?
Soup mix freezer bags are bags of prepared-then-frozen vegetables! The best part about soup mix bags is that they don't need to thaw, so, when you need a last minute meal, you can pull a bag out and have a big pot of "chicken" noodle soup or any other soup ready in 30 minutes or so!
