Notes

Gluten Free Options
I used my vegan seitan chicken recipe because it is packed with protein and has a great chicken-like texture. However, seitan is not gluten-free, so if you are gluten-free, you'll need another protein option.
You can:
1) add more beans or crumbled tempeh - add another can or two of white beans, or grab a block of tempeh and crumble it into the soup when you add the beans
2) use a gluten-free vegan chicken. I recommend Abbot's Butcher chick'n - prepare the chick'n as instructed on the box, then add it to the recipe during step 3 when the seitan chicken would be added
