Question

Would potato soup make a good alternative to gravy in a vegetarian pot pie?

Answer 1

Potato would work, or some super creamy broccoli Alfredo sauce.

Answer 2

Campbells mushroom gravy is vegan :)

Answer 3

Why don't you make gravy using vegetable based bouillon cubes or powder? Mix a tablespoon each of any kind of oil or fat and some flour, heat it over lowish heat for a few minutes while whisking, slowly add a cup or so of liquid depending how thick you want this sauce, whisk constantly to smooth out lumps, add seasoning. Seasoning can be anything you like--bouillon cubes, salt, pepper, herbs. The liquid can be anything too. Water, milk, wine, beer, stock. What you just made is a white sauce which is the basis for gravies, cream soups and sauces of all kinds including cheese sauce. Mix it with whatever you want to put in your pie.

Answer 4

Sounds fine to me. I'd add extra celery and onion to the dish and you could also top with fresh spinach.

Answer 5

I'd make a yellow lentil broth then thickened with fine diced potatoes or dehydrated potatoes.. Lentils seem to be one of the best vegetarian alternatives to gravy.

Answer 6

you need to read the ingredients to be sure, but i think it would work find....so would cream of mushroom or cream of celery, broccoli and asparagus.

Answer 7

Yes, I think that would work. You could use cream of celery as an alternate.

Answer 8

it think that would be yummy if you like potato soup it should be greattt

Answer 9

It would be good, but rich and really starchy (not in taste, but I'm thinking health-wise).



You can get mixes of onion, mushroom, and some other vegetable based gravies. Or just make a gravy with vegetable stock.



I just checked a packet of McCormick brown gravy I have, and it's vegetarian. No animal anythings in it.



And those are really quick and easy. Easier than potato soup.



When I make a pot pie, it isn't usually a pot pie but closer to a shepard's pie. I just throw a bunch of vegetables, including potatoes, into a 9X13 pan, pour whatever kind of gravy over the top of it to just barely cover the veggies, and then I roll out homemade buttermilk biscuit dough and use that to cover the top. Then bake and eat. Edit: You can totally do the same thing with a pie crust, either just a crust on top or lining the pan first too. I just find that the crust in the pan the way I make it gets soggy. And biscuits are easier than crust.



I just thought, are you trying to duplicate a chicken pot pie? With white gravy? In that case I'd probably just make a thinnish white sauce (resources ALL OVER the google), and season it really well, maybe even add some cheese in there if you still eat that. Easier than making a whole separate soup for the gravy.
