This is a simple, warming, one-pot veggie white bean stew that is perfect for dinner on a chilly evening. It’s packed with veggies and beans and browned mushroom and has an absolutely amazing flavor! Nut-free. Options for gluten-free, soy-free

The secret to this veggie bean stew’s flavor is in the mushrooms. I sauté some mushrooms beforehand, and then set them aside, adding them into the stew at the end of cooking. This helps the mushrooms keep that nice, roasted flavor, which adds so much umami to this stew! 

If you boil the mushrooms in the stew, the texture kind of changes a bit, and the flavor isn’t as strong. However, if you prefer to do it that way, it will still work and taste delicious!

Easy creamy lasagna soup with a tomato-cream base is absolutely delicious and total comfort food. The lasagna sheets cook with the rest of the soup, so this is an easy, one-pan meal! 

I make this thick and creamy lasagna soup in a saucepan, cooking the lasagna sheets together in a flavorful broth with flavors of garlic, mushroom, and Italian herbs. Once the lasagna sheets are al dente, mix in tomato puree and non-dairy sour cream.

Then, top the whole thing with melty vegan cheese, veggie grounds or lentils, and basil and broil it to melt the cheese and cook the veggie grounds all at the same time!

If you don’t want to broil it, that’s fine! You can just cook the veggie grounds on a skillet for a few minutes, and then sprinkle them onto the creamy lasagna soup along with some vegan cheese and cover the pan. The hot soup and the steam in the closed pan will melt the vegan cheese beautifully.

Either way, this soup is rich and creamy with delicious Italian flavors. It’s all of the amazing textures and flavors of lasagna in soup form! You all love my easy instant pot lasagna soup with red lentils. You’ll love this tomato cream sauce lasagna soup as well! It needs just 1 pan, everyday ingredients and is super comforting.

Serve this with some nice toasted sourdough, garlic bread, or whichever vegan bread or flatbread that you like.

Why You’ll Love Lasagna Soup

• all of the flavors and textures of lasagna in soup form!
• no need to cook the noodles in advance, they cook in the soup!
• easy, one-pan meal
• versatile! Use any meat substitutes you like in place of the veggie grounds, other pasta in place of lasagna sheets, and melt the cheese in the broiler on the stovetop.
• soy-free and nut-free with easy gluten-free option

This Italian herb and sun-dried tomato Red Lentil chickpea stew is a super easy, one-pan, meal that is so satisfying and flavorful! It makes a delicious, protein-packed weeknight meal with garlic bread or sourdough to dip, or serve it over pasta, baked potato, or roasted vegetables.

This high protein vegan stew uses both chickpeas and red lentils. The stew has a simple base of aromatics, herbs, sun dried tomato, vegan parmesan and non dairy milk. The red lentils break down during cooking and thicken up the stew, so you don’t necessarily need a cream addition. You can even serve it over roasted veggies or with garlic bread or however else you like. No matter how you serve it, this lentil chickpea stew is a perfect, easy meal for a cool, spring evening.

If you’re looking to change up your game from making all of the lentil curries or chickpea curries, this chickpea lentil stew is for you. It uses Italian herbs and oregano ,mirepoix and some sun-dried tomato for all that umami flavor in the sauce, and it is amazing over some toasted garlic bread or sourdough or over pasta or baked potato.

I also offer an option to make this into a curried lentil chickpea stew with just a simple adjustment to the spices.

Why you will love this Lentil Chickpea Stew

• easy, one pot meal that’s packed with protein and flavor
• versatile! Use other cooked lentils and use cooked chickpeas, white beans, or butter beans. You can also change the flavor to curried, if you like.
• tender beans in a thick, flavorful sauce

Soothing mushroom noodle soup is an easy, one-pot comfort food dinner. This is a brothy noodle soup with tender, wide rice noodles and hearty mushrooms. Glutenfree 1 pot 30 minute

I love using rice noodles to make noodle soups and love them for skillet noodles, as well, like my Thai skillet noodles. I took elements of that along with my other brothy soups and some of the flavor profile from comforting chicken noodle soups to make this umami-filled really delicious soup broth!
This is a simple 1 pot soup. We cook the noodles by boiling them in the soup broth itself. That means no need to pre-cook the noodles!

This mushroom noodle soup is packed with mushrooms, carrots, and celery. You can add other veggies to it, if you like. You can also add more protein, like vegan sausage or veggie grounds or tvp.

Pad Thai noodles will work in place of the wide rice noodles in this soup. In fact, any kind of rice noodles would work. You can also use pasta. The cooking time will vary based on the noodles that you use.

This soup is best when it’s hot, with the broth really hot and soothing. It’s great for winter and spring, too. I love to sear some mushroom or tofu with salt and pepper and use that to top the soup. That and Garnishes like green onion add a vibrant flavor and texture. You can break the noodles into shorter size before adding them to the pan to cook so that the soup is easier to eat (tip from husband who doesn’t like to slurp long noodles :))

Why You’ll Love Mushroom Noodle Soup

• cozy, hearty, one-pot meal: everyone loves a quick few ingredient cozy one pot soup and this fits perfectly
• comfort food noodles with toothsome mushrooms in a flavorful broth
• use any kind of noodles that you like!
• think comforting chicken noodle soup but with mushrooms and rice noodles
• naturally nut-free
• gluten-free and soy-free options provided

This South Indian Lentil meat stew – Dalcha, has lentils or split peas cooked with spices, coconut cream and meat to make a hearty stew that is served with rice Biryani. We use soycurls to make a glorious vegan dalcha.

Continuing this year with regional Indian cuisine with this delicious stew! Dalcha is a meat and lentil stew from Southern Indian cuisine, and it’s incredibly delicious. Dalcha usually contains lamb, but I’m using soy curls as the meat substitute.

You can also use seitan or other vegan chicken substitutes instead, if you don’t want to use soy curls. Or just omit and make a lentil stew.

Dalcha most often has Chana dal or toor dal as the lentils of choice. I use red lentils to make it a quicker meal. Dalcha has a fabulous blend of spices that work to elevate the lentils as well as the meat.

This recipe is a one-pot dish that you can serve over rice or with flatbread. It is often served with rice or biryani.

Meet my new favorite vegan soup for cold days! This Zuppa Toscana is easy and  the perfect comfort food.

Lusciously creamy and every bit as hearty and satisfying with that signature blend of potatoes, mushrooms, and spinach. I use veggie crumbles or chopped soycurls instead of sausage that get flavored with spices and herbs. You don’t have make the whole sausage! Cashew cream adds that decadent creamyness.

As we thicken the soup with cashew cream and the natural starches from the potatoes, it is gluten-free. However, if you want to keep this nut-free I have added a couple of alternatives for thickening the soup in the recipe notes.

With the added potatoes and veggie crumbles, this soup is filling enough to be a main dish. Top with vegan cheese shreds, pepper, herbs and serve with some toasty bread. So good!

This is umami-filled and smokier, spicier version of a vegan potato soup. It’s hearty and cozy with a satisfying, smoky bacony tofu bits topping. Gluten-free Nutfree. Options for soyfree included

This Creamy 1 Pot Potato soup is a comforting hug in a bowl. It comes together quickly and is versatile!

If super spicy vegan potato soup isn’t your thing, don’t worry! You can adjust the heat level based on your preferences. Add less or more paprika and cayenne to adjust the spiciness.

This soup all comes together in one pot, unless you take the oven option to make the bacon-y tofu crumbles (see Tips and recipe card below).

Speaking of those tofu crumbles! They add an incredible smoky flavor and toothsome texture to this creamy potato soup. You mix most of them into the soup itself but reserve some for topping, so you can really get that flavor punch.

The potato soup itself is creamy and balanced, and you can adjust the thickness to your liking. For a thicker soup, simply mash the potatoes once they are cooked and tender.
