I first discovered jackfruit on our vacation to Tucson this fall. I had the very best jackfruit tacos at this incredibly popular vegan Mexican restaurant called Tumerico. If you are in the Tucson area, you should check it out! I couldn’t believe how authentic the jackfruit taco tasted and how filling it was. Since then I have made a few jackfruit recipes and have been experimenting with it in various ways (more to come!). My first creation turned out great and I couldn’t believe how easy it was to use this unripe canned jackfruit! If you do not wish to venture into jackfruit, I have an equally yummy option to add chickpeas instead, which can be found in the “notes” section. Chicken noodle soup was always my favorite when I was a meat-eater and this is the closest I have come to replicating those flavors. The best part about soup, is that it’s make-ahead friendly and also can be frozen for a quick meal in the future. I hope you enjoy this Vegan Jackfruit “chicken” Noodle soup!

Imagine Foods makes an organic "No-Chicken" vegetarian broth that tastes like chicken broth. I use it in all of my soups and like it much better than other vegetarian broths I have used.

I tried it tonight. Very good!! I'm thinking maybe a little Porcini powder might enhance the Umami flavor. I made 1/2 of the recipe. I added 1/2 tsp. of Porcini powder to what was left and see how that tastes tomorrow for lunch. I think Jackfruit has a lot of possibilities! Think I am going to work on vegetarian clam chowder.
