This vegan pot pie recipe is perfect for this time of year and I know I’ve said that with every pot pie I’ve made but this one has a really intense sense of comfort and wholesomeness. It seriously tastes like real beef pie. The textures are obviously a bit off because it’s beef-less but the wild rice brings so much character to the dish, not to mention nuttiness, texture, and a great source of fibre.
This recipe also is a bonus because it is two-in-one. Yep, you’ve heard me correctly! You get the soup and the pot pie. The soup itself is hearty, filling, and nourishing. It’s packed with protein, so having the pot pie is really just an incredible bonus.

The health benefits
This recipe is loaded with health benefits because of the superstar ingredients, but let’s take a moment to chat a bit about the white beans in this recipe. White beans are high in protein, low on the glycemic index, and high in vitamin content with a ton of fibre. These also pack:
Folate Vitamin B1 Potassium Magnesium Iron
What I love about these beans is they are so versatile. This magical bean can be thrown into so many recipes and because of their texture and colour, they can be a great substitute for potatoes.
How to make these pot pies perfectly
Some added tips to make this vegan pot pie recipe perfectly:
Patiently cook down you veggies to build that flavour baby 😉 Precook your wild rice Use canned white beans Use a good quality red wine, it should always be something you yourself would drink. You can also use pomegranate or cranberry juice instead (I love Patience Fruit & Co.) Make sure before adding your soup mixture to the pot pie that it is loose enough to get creamy and thick after cooking – follow my methods and steps well that are below Brush your puffed pastry with vegan butter before cooking
