Yuba Noodle Soup
Sometimes you just crave a giant, comforting bowl of brothy goodness. This plant-based twist on a classic uses chewy yuba sheets and quick-cooking pasta for the ultimate cozy meal.
You don't need a specific reason to enjoy a nostalgic, herby bowl of noodle soup. Whether you're feeling under the weather or just wrapping yourself up for a movie marathon, this recipe delivers that classic, wrapped-in-a-blanket comfort.
The secret here is swapping traditional meat for dried yuba (tofu skin), which provides a perfectly chewy, satisfying texture. Paired with the fastest-cooking noodle in the pantry—angel hair—and brightened up with a handful of fresh dill, this soup comes together effortlessly. Serve it alongside thickly buttered crusty bread for dipping!
The Ingredients
- ✔2 tbsp olive oil
- ✔1 medium yellow onion, diced
- ✔2 celery stalks, sliced
- ✔2 cups (320g) baby carrots, diced
- ✔85g dried yuba (tofu skin)
- ✔1.4 Liters vegan 'chicken' or vegetable broth
- ✔170g angel hair pasta
- ✔1 tsp vegan poultry seasoning & 1/2 tsp onion powder
- ✔1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
- ✔1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, plus buttered bread for serving
The Instructions
Fry the Veggies: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and a generous pinch of salt, cooking until translucent. Stir in the sliced celery and carrots, cooking for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Build the Broth: Roughly break the dried yuba into large chunks and toss them into the pot. Sprinkle in the poultry seasoning, onion powder, remaining salt, and black pepper, then pour in the broth. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it simmer for 15 minutes to allow the yuba to become tender.
Noodles & Herbs: Snap the angel hair pasta into thirds and stir it into the soup. Simmer for just 3 minutes until al dente. Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the chopped fresh dill, and adjust the seasoning to taste (add a splash of water if the soup is too thick). Ladle into warm bowls, garnish with extra dill, and serve immediately with buttered bread.

Perfect Noodles
Angel hair pasta cooks incredibly fast and can become mushy if left sitting in hot liquid for too long. If you are making this soup ahead of time, cook the pasta separately and add it directly to individual bowls before ladling the hot broth over the top!
