    My family absolutely loves this homemade veggie pot pie soup all year long, but especially on chilly fall or winter days. 

    I think it’s a cross between my Vegan Chicken Pot Pie and my popular Gnocchi Soup.

    This lick-your-bowl-worthy recipe is filling and totally customizable with any of your favorite vegetables. I also like to sprinkle in a handful of vegan chicken for an even heartier bite.

    You can add in any fresh herbs you have on hand and maybe some vegan cheese to make it cheesy!

    Reasons To Love This Recipe

    • So flavorful
    • Hearty & filling
    • Vegan, dairy-free
    • Quick & easy to make
    • Tastes just like a classic pot pie

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    Ingredients for pot pie soup.
    • Vegan Butter - Sauté the veggies in your favorite plant-based butter to give the soup a buttery taste.
    • Onion - I like yellow or sweet onion here best, but white would work too. 
    • Carrots - So healthy and delicious! Feel free to add more if you’d like.
    • Garlic - Freshly minced garlic is amazing here, but powdered can be used in a pinch.
    • Potatoes - My favorites for pot pie soup are buttery soft Yukon gold potatoes but russet works too.
    • Flour - A little bit of all-purpose flour is used to thicken the soup. A 1-to-1 gluten-free can be used as an alternative.
    • Plant-Based Milk - Soy milk provides the smoothest consistency, although any other full-fat vegan milk will be just fine.
    • Cornstarch - Another thickening agent. Arrowroot powder works as well.
    • Broth - Use either vegetable broth or mix vegan Better Than Bouillon with water instead.
    • Seasoning - Just salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning are all you need. Despite the name, poultry seasoning is vegan. 
    • Rosemary - Fresh rosemary is incredible in this pot pie stew. Feel free to add in others or change it up with other herbs such as thyme or parsley.
    • Peas - Frozen peas add a pop of color and nutrients.
    • Vegan Chicken - This ingredient is optional. I really like to add Gardein Chick’n pieces.

    How to Make Vegan Pot Pie Soup

    Here are some quick visual steps. The full recipe with exact measurements can be found on the recipe card below.

    Cut the onions, carrots, garlic, potatoes, and rosemary. Gather the other ingredients because the soup cooks fast. However, leave the vegan chicken and peas in the freezer for now.

    Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Melt the vegan butter into it, then add the onions and carrots.

    Sauté the onions and carrots for 3-4 minutes or until the onions become translucent. Add the garlic to the pot and stir as it cooks for a minute.

    Lower the heat to medium and add the flour. Stir the flour in for 1 minute as the vegetables become coated. 

    Mix the cornstarch into the plant-based milk until the lumps dissolve. Add this to the pot along with the broth, seasoning, and potatoes. Stir everything together.

    Cook the soup uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. The soup will become thick and creamy during this time.

    Break the frozen vegan chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it to the chowder along with the peas. Cook for 4-5 more minutes until they are heated through. Adding these at the last minute helps to keep them from getting too soft.

    Enjoy the soup with a baguette, biscuits, crackers, bread, or anything that will help you scoop up every last drop!
