Why You’ll Love This Veggie Pot Pie Soup

There’s something irresistible about taking a nostalgic classic and giving it a fresh, wholesome twist. This soup is creamy yet dairy-light, brimming with colorful vegetables like carrots, peas, potatoes, and mushrooms that hold their texture and flavor in every spoonful. It’s quick enough for weeknights but special enough to serve when friends drop by.

With no crust to fuss over and just one pot to clean up, it makes comfort food feel easier than ever. You can also adjust the seasonings and ingredients to your liking, making it a versatile go-to when you have fresh produce to use up.

What Kind of Broth Should I Use?

The base of your soup sets the tone for the entire bowl, and for this one, a rich vegetable broth is perfect. Opt for low-sodium if you’re seasoning yourself, and choose a brand with bold flavor or make your own for a more homemade feel. If you’re looking for an extra creamy version, adding a splash of plant-based milk like oat or cashew blends beautifully with the vegetables.

How To Make the Veggie Pot Pie Soup

Step 1: Build the Flavor Base

Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery until soft and aromatic. This creates the foundation of flavor.

Step 2: Add Mushrooms and Potatoes

Toss in the mushrooms and potatoes, letting them cook for a few minutes to release their natural flavors and absorb some of the aromatics.

Step 3: Create the Roux

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well, allowing it to coat everything. This step thickens the soup later and gives it that pot pie richness.

Step 4: Pour in the Broth

Slowly add the vegetable broth while stirring constantly to prevent clumping. Add the bay leaf and dried thyme, then let it simmer until the potatoes are tender.

Step 5: Stir in Creaminess and Veggies

Once the potatoes are soft, add in frozen peas, corn, and the plant-based milk. Simmer gently until everything is hot and creamy.

Step 6: Finish with Herbs

Remove the bay leaf, season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir in freshly chopped parsley just before serving.

How to Serve and Store Veggie Pot Pie Soup

This soup feeds about 4 to 6 people, depending on portion size. It’s best served piping hot with warm crusty bread, a biscuit, or even puff pastry squares on the side to mimic that classic pot pie experience.

To store leftovers, let the soup cool completely and transfer to airtight containers. It keeps well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, and you can freeze it for up to a month. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or milk if it thickens too much.
