This vegan creamy “chicken” and vegetable cobbler is like the most delicious upgrade of a chicken pot pie. Creamy “chicken”, green beans, carrots and corn filling. Topped with stuffing flavored biscuits and baked to perfection! This is my new favorite way to eat a chicken pot pie. The flaky biscuits on top are such a good replacement for a pie crust. You get layers upon layers and of flaky stuffing flavored goodness and creamy, savory filling. It is so cozy and comforting and the best thing to serve for thanksgiving or all fall and winter long!
What You Need For This Savory Vegan Cobbler:
- Soy Curls: This replaces the chicken in this cobbler. I like to use Butler’s Soy Curls.
- Garlic, Celery, Shallot, Carrot, Corn and Green Beans: These are the veggies I like to use.
- Olive Oil and Vegan Butter: To cook the soy curls and start the filling for the cobbler.
- Flour: To make a roux and to make the biscuit topping.
- Veggie Broth, Non-dairy Milk and Cashews: These make the liquid for the filling.
- Bay Leaves, Nutmeg, Sage, Celery Salt, Thyme, Rosemary, Marjoram: These season the filling and make the biscuit topping stuffing flavored.
- Baking Powder and Baking Soda: To make the biscuit topping.
To streamline this vegan creamy “chicken” and vegetable cobbler, I bake the soy curls on a sheet pan while I make the rest of the filling. Then you can just fold the soy curls into the filling. Then make the very, very easy biscuit topping and then bake all together. This is a little more time consuming than the other vegan Thanksgiving recipes I am sharing this week, but this is a main dish!
Why Should You Make This Stuffing Biscuit Topped Cobbler:
- Three words. Stuffing. Flavored. Biscuits.
- This creamy filling is almost so hard to stop eating you make just eat it all before finishing the cobbler.
- This recipe will feed a crowd, so it is perfect for the holidays.
- The combination of buttery biscuit and “chicken” and veggie filling is unrivaled.
- Everyone will LOVE this savory cobbler.

- 1/4 teaspoon Marjoram
- 1/2 Cup Vegan butter, cold

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees(F).
- Once you have soaked and drained the soy curls, spread them out evenly onto a large sheet pan. Then drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with a few pinches of salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Bake the soy curls for 15 minutes, toss them and cook for another 7 to 9 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Leave the oven on when they are done.
- While the soy curls bake, start the rest of the filling. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the vegan butter in a large pot on medium high.
- Once the butter has melted, add the shallots, carrots, celery and garlic to the pot. Sauté, reducing heat as needed for about 1 to 2 minutes or until the shallots are translucent.
- Add the flour and whisk to combine and form a roux. Let simmer for 1 minutes.
- Then pour in the vegetable broth, bay leaves, thyme sprigs, sage, nutmeg and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk to fully combine, making sure there are no lumps of roux left.
- Let simmer for about 10 minutes, the mixture will thicken up.
- While the mixture simmers, make a cashew cream sauce. Drain the cashews and then add them to a blender. Then pour the non-dairy milk into the the blender as well as a few pinches of salt and pepper.
- Blend, scraping down the sides as needed until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the cashews cream into the pot and whisk to combine.
- Then add in the green beans and the corn and stir again.
- Now, if the soy curls are done, add them to the pot and stir again.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, then remove the bay leaves and sprigs of thyme.
- Pour the filling into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and smooth it out evenly. Set aside.
- Make the biscuit topping. In a food processor pulse to combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, sage, celery salt, thyme, rosemary and marjoram.
- Then break the vegan butter up into chunks and drop them on the top of the dry mixture in the food processor. Pulse to combine and evenly distribute the vegan butter. It should look like sand.
- Now, with the food processor on, start to pour the non-dairy milk in through the top of the food processor. The dough should come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead together until no longer sticky.
- Shape the dough into a rectangle and then roll the dough out to about 1/2 an inch thick. Then cut into square or circular biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on top of the filling and then brush the biscuit with melted vegan butter or olive oil.
- Bake for 23 to 25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes, then serve.
