This pot pie brings together all my favorite flavors. Caramelized onion and mushroom, earthy balsamic vinegar, herbs, and a crisp sweet potato topping!

I like to make individual portions, but you can easily make one large dish. The pot pie can be made without gluten or grain and can be made without oil as well. Use other greens of choice and change up the topping for variation. Top with vegan puff pastry for a decadent pie. Or just make the filling and serve over mashed potatoes or veggies. The mushroom bean filling is a mix of savory mushroom gravy and beans and works amazingly with mashed veggies as well.

    I really enjoyed this recipe! I used extra herbs and balsamic and served over rice. Will make again!

    This was really delicious! The broth was very flavoursome but didn’t thicken as I had expected….I used the whole wheat flour option (I eyeballed the amount so perhaps I didn’t use the full amount). I will try the corn starch option next time (there will be a next time!)
    Only modifications were to use butter beans (that’s what I had on hand) and a little squirt of siracha for a bit of heat.
    Thank you Richa

      This was amazing! I didn’t have stock powder so I added 1.5 tablespoons of vegan gravy powder and omitted the thickener and it came out great! Served with Cous Cous and a salad

        Awesome!

    I was blown away on how good this was . The mushroom gravy that it made was creamy and delicious I added wine to my gravy. You can pretty much add whatever vegetable you have around . I put fresh zucchini , frozen Lima beans, spinach and mushrooms ,that what makes the dish so special. I added wine, garlic, and olive oil to mushrooms . I also used the sweet potato crust. Incredibly delicious ! My husband love it too he couldn’t believe that it was meat free.

    My son and I made this tonight for Sunday dinner. A couple of the family members thought they hated mushrooms and had serious doubts about this dish; others were skeptical because it was vegan – all seven loved it and went back for seconds and thirds! I’m celiac so we made it gluten free. Other substitutions: used red wine instead of the vinegar and kale instead of the chard. Thanks so much for the recipe, Richa! Fyi, each of my sons got one of your cookbooks for Christmas.

    1. Richa says:

      awesome!

  8. Skinny Cat says:

    Do you think black beans would work??

    1. Richa says:

      thy might overpower the gravy flavor a bit. but overall should work fine

  9. Cricket says:

    Maybe I’m missing something or it’s lost in formatting since I’m viewing on mobile….but it doesn’t seem to show what AMOUNTS of each ingredient goes into the recipe. How many mushrooms, how much balsamic, etc. And for the cannellini beans, should they be dry or canned? Thank you!

    1. Richa says:

      Scroll all the way down for the full recipe. The first list is for extra information about the ingreedients such as why the ingredient and what substitutees can be used etc.

      1. Cricket says:

        Ohhhhhh derp!! Found it. Thank you!

    Delicious. My husband and I both loved it. Textures and flavors are just lovely. I’m so happy I tried this because I don’t think I would have thought to combine the ingredients in this way. Thanks so much!
