Our Vegan Pot Pie in a white baking dish

Holiday Meals wouldn’t be complete without a classic pot pie. This Savory herby filling reminds me of a chickin pot pie. The black pepper biscuit topping is crisp and delightful over this veggie filled pot pie.

Change up the herbs and veggies to preference. Add some soy curls for a chickin like texture, use other biscuit topping, or puff pastry or a pie crust of choice.

    Iโ€™m a bit confused by what you mean when you say โ€˜1/4 cup starchโ€™ in the gluten free version. Is that cornflour or arrowroot powder?

    1. Richa says:

      Either will work

    Iโ€™ve made this recipe several times, once for Thanksgiving. The non-vegans loved it! I usually change up the vegetables each time I make it.
