I partnered with JSL Foods for this post by participating in their Fortune Asian Noodle Blogger Recipe Challenge contest. My job was to come up with a recipe for noodle soup using Udon Noodles. I came up with a yummy recipe that works for hybrid families such as my own composed of vegetarians and meat-eaters. My recipe for Hybrid Vegetarian and Chicken Mushroom Noodle Soup, One Recipe Two Crockpots is so good! It is one recipe that works for two different diets.

This post was sponsored by JSL Foods but all opinions are 100% my own. My website contains affiliate links. Please see my disclaimer in the top bar menu for more details. Thank you:)

I received free products from the Fortune Noodle Team to make this recipe. I used the original flavor and the mushroom flavor Udon Noodles for this recipe. These noodles are wonderful because they come already cooked so after a short boil (or microwave time) they are ready which makes for a convenient way to make meals for busy families. Plus I love that the noodles are natural, ALA Omega-3 fortified, GMO-free, and contain no MSG.

Other Reasons I Love these Noodles

I like these noodles because they can be used for a quick meal when we need to head off to an evening filled with kids sports activities. It is quick to simply add these noodles to a soup or top them with a stir fry combo.

The other reason I like these noodles is because I can customize the meal to be either vegetarian or meat containing by adding only stir-fried vegetables or meat and vegetables. Since these noodles are easy to prepare, I easily and quickly can prepare the noodles and make a vegetarian or meat-containing meal with very little effort. This makes them a great hybrid meal component.

What is a hybrid meal? It’s a term I use for the cooking I do for my own family where I strive to cook meals that work for both a vegetarian diet and a meat-eater diet. I like to figure out meals that work for both diets as often as I can so I’m not a short order cook. If I plan correctly from the beginning, I can easily make most recipes work for the vegetarian diet and the meat diet.

Ingredients for Hybrid Vegetarian and Chicken Mushroom Noodle Soup One Recipe Two Crockpots

The way I make this recipe work for two diets is I use two crockpots. I prepare the vegetables together and then split them between two crockpots so I can keep the meat portion separate from the vegetarian portion. It’s not hard, I just have to be more mindful in the preparation of the soup to make it work. I am used to doing this as I have cooked this way for years for my own family. I’m not a chef, but I’m trained by life and years of cooking for my own family.

This recipe is not a quick recipe however as it is made in the crockpot. That being said, I find crockpot meals work great for my family because once the prep is done initially it becomes an easy meal to quickly serve after the cooking time.

Ingredients for the Noodle Soup:

  • 1 pack Udon noodles mushroom flavor
  • 1 pack Udon noodles original flavor (you could use the same flavor for both soups if you prefer)
  • butter
  • garden vegetable broth
  • parsnips
  • baby bella mushrooms
  • onion
  • celery
  • lentils
  • thyme leaves
  • ground marjoram
  • celery seed
  • chicken tenderloins
  • soy sauce
  • frozen gold and white corn

I LOVE the parsnips and corn in this soup because these veggies give the soup a slightly sweet flavor which is delicious! I love all the healthy veggies and lentils in this soup as well.

The prep is all done hours before the dinner rush which is one reason I love crockpot meals for my family.

    The concept of a hybrid meal is awesome! I am totally drawn to the ingredient list here and will be adding this to a menu soon. Love the addition of the parsnips!

      Thank you! I LOVE the parsnips in this recipe. They remind me of potatoes but they have less carbs and are more sweet. They add a lovely sweetness to this soup along with the corn:)

    This sounds good. I like soups, especially ones with lots of stock and vegetables. I will have to try this. Do you think it will do well exchanging the corn for something else?

      I hope you like it! I bet you could exchange something for the corn, maybe just add more parsnips or add carrots?? Or I think even zucchini would be good.
