To find the percent of the soup that is vegetables, divide the number of cups of vegetables by the total number of cups of soup and multiply by 100.
The total number of cups of soup is 3 cups of vegetables + 4 cups of broth + 1 cup of chicken + 2 cups of noodles = 10 cups of soup.
So, the percent of the soup that is vegetables is (3 cups of vegetables / 10 cups of soup) * 100% = 30%.
Therefore, the correct answer is 30%.
