Chop carrots, onions, and celery finely.

Wash carrots thoroughly and cut them in half, then into smaller pieces without peeling.

Chop about 1/4 of an onion and add to the pot with the other vegetables.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of oil to a pot and sauté the chopped vegetables until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Add black pepper and salt to the sautéed vegetables for flavor.

Use soy curls for the vegan chicken, sautéing them for about 5-7 minutes.

Mix 2 tablespoons of Better Than Bouillon with 4 cups of warm water to create broth.

Add 1 tablespoon of vegan butter to the sautéed vegetables to help form a roux.

Add all-purpose flour to the sautéed vegetables and mix until clumped together, ensuring no dry flour remains.

Slowly pour in the broth, starting with a small amount to avoid clumping, mixing well after each addition.

Continue adding broth gradually, mixing thoroughly to ensure a smooth consistency.

Add an additional 2 cups of water to the mixture and let it cook.
