1. Add some olive oil to a large pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the onion, garlic, and celery and cook them for about 5 minutes until you see that they have softened and the onions are translucent.
2. Throw in the carrots, your broth of choice, chopped vegan chicken pieces, basil, and thyme. Get that mixture to a boil, then let it simmer for a cool 10 minutes.
3. While the soup works its magic on the stove, cook the pasta in a separate pot. Follow the package instructions, but make sure to cook it for 1 minute less than the recommended time. We don't want mushy noodles! Drain the pasta and set it aside for later.
4. Taste your soup creation and make any seasoning adjustments you think it needs, like adding more herbs or a dash of salt and pepper.
5. Serve the soup in bowls with a serving of those delicious noodles you cooked earlier. Top it off with some fresh parsley for an extra touch of flavor.
