The most comforting 5 ingredient faux chicken soup made with product called Quorn

The ingredient that some of you may not know is called Quorn. In this recipe I used the diced faux chicken pieces,they have the texture of chicken,I think it tastes better then chicken. I have tried the sausages they are brilliant the seasoning was perfect and they are very moist. They have a very nice texture and they cook in no time. They make other meat free products,here is the link so you can check out all there different products quorn.com. Quorn makes vegan products but only in the USA as for now. The thing that makes them not vegan is they add egg whites. This soup is so comforting and super easy to make,it warms you to the core when you are super cold. I like to make it when I had a long day!

FAUX CHICKEN SOUP

2-3 small to medium size carrots chopped to 1/2 inch to 1 inch( if your carrots are large 1-2)
3 stalks of celery chopped 1/2 inch to 1 inch
bouillon cubes or power
half bag of Quorn faux chicken pieces
fresh water
In a small cooking pot add the carrots and celery,add fresh water 2 inches to cover vegetables

On medium heat cook 15 minutes cover slightly

Then add faux chicken pieces they will be frozen that is ok and then add bouillon to taste
I use. 1 to 2 cubes or 1-3 teaspoons to taste,bouillon is all about the taste and flavor 
you are trying to achieve 

Cook additional 10 minutes so all the favors can combine 

You can make a larger amount by chopping the vegetables smaller and adding more water,more bouillon and all the bag of Quorn pieces.

Enjoy
 
 Additional note I like to drink the bouillon broth alone I add a half of cube or half of teaspoon to boiling water or to taste,it is also very comforting. 

I like to use boullion cube or powder,I don't know why people buy broth in a carton WHY WHY it is a waste of money. Cubes or powder are so much more economical and the flavor is so much better.
People say there is so much sodium in cubes or powder,not true because the ones I use add only sea salt.
You can control the amount you put in.The flavors are so much more fresh.

My favorite brands are Herbamare Bouillon by avogel.com
