Simple and nourishing, this vegan noodle soup is seasoned with fresh herbs and lemon. Easy to make in about 30 minutes, it's warming, comforting, and reminiscent of the chicken and stars soup I grew up eating.
If you enjoy my lemon pesto white bean orzo soup and lemon chickpea orzo soup, you're sure to love this version too. It's perfect for when you want a bowl that's just as flavorful but lighter, since it's made without beans, legumes, or plant-based chicken alternatives.
This cozy soup is a family favorite that's easy to customize with your choice of tiny noodles and fresh herbs.

Ingredients
- Tiny pasta: Look for varieties like star-shaped stelline (shown here), ditalini, or orzo. Either traditional or gluten-free noodles can be used.
- Fresh herbs: While dill is my favorite, other options include parsley and basil.
Please see the recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete ingredients, measurements, and instructions.
How to make vegan noodle soup
- In a large pot, saute the onion in olive oil until softened and slightly translucent.
- Add the garlic, carrots, and celery, and saute a few minutes more.
- Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and simmer until they are tender, stirring occasionally.
- Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed. Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the dill and lemon juice, and serve.
Serving suggestions
Vegan noodle soup is wonderful on its own or with warm crusty bread. It also pairs well with salad or sandwiches.
I particularly like it with Mediterranean black eyed pea salad, chickpea avocado Greek Salad, or a sliced tofu sandwich.
