Step 1
Into a deep casserole dish heat your
Olive Oil (1 Tbsp)
on low-medium heat for 30 seconds before adding your
Sweet Onion (1)
and cooking down for 7-8 minutes or until perfectly golden. Be sure to stir occasionally to promote even cooking and to avoid burning.
Step 2
To the pot, add your
Carrots (2)
and
Celery (3 stalks)
, turn the heat to low, and place the lid on your casserole dish. Cook for 10 minutes or until vegetables are cooked. Stir often to avoid burning.
Step 3
Remove the lid from the casserole dish and add your
Garlic (4 cloves)
,
Sea Salt (1 tsp)
,
Ground Black Pepper (1 tsp)
, and
Fresh Thyme (2 Tbsp)
. Stir everything till well incorporated.
Step 4
Increase heat to high and add your
Dry Red Wine (3/4 cup)
to the pot, stir till everything is coated in red wine then cook till reduced on medium heat. This should take a few minutes.
Step 5
To the pot, add the
Vegan Butter (1 Tbsp)
and cook till melted on the same medium heat.
Step 6
Now add your
All-Purpose Flour (2 Tbsp)
and stir till everything is coated with flour. To the pot add your
Vegetable Broth Paste (1 Tbsp)
and stir.
Step 7
Now add your
Wild Rice (1 1/2 cups)
and
White Beans (1 can)
. Cook for 2-3 minutes before adding your
Water (8 cups)
to the pot.
Step 8
Increase heat to high, the mixture should always instantly come to a boil. Once boiling, simmer for around 15 minutes. Check the consistency of the soup. You want it heart but still a bit brothy so it reduces in the oven with the puffed pastry. If it’s still too brothy keep simmering.
Step 9
At this stage, you can eat the soup as is with a dusting of salt, drizzle of olive oil, and pinch of fresh thyme or proceed to make pot pies.
Step 10
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
Step 11
Fill 4 little pots with your soup mixture. Gently cover your pots with puffed pastry and lightly score a few holes to release steam. Brush your puffed pastry with vegan butter. Cook for 20 minutes on a sheet pan. You can broil for a few minutes at the end to achieve that gorgeous golden color.
Step 12
Enjoy with your favorite mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables.
