kinda like broccoli cheddar soup, but so much better

I don’t know about you guys, but I honestly believe that pot pie is, like, the epitome of comfort food. It’s just so good. Since we’ve all seen our fair share of chicken pot pies, I wanted to switch things up a bit. Instead of chicken, I thought to myself … “Why don’t I make broccoli cheddar pot pie? But instead of pie crust or phyllo dough, why don’t I use BISCUITS?!” Fast forward and here I am sharing this epic recipe with you. The best part? If you have an oven safe pan or cast iron skillet, this entire dish can be make with JUST ONE PAN. Sayonara, dish duty. Grab a drink and let’s get to cookin’ the best broccoli cheddar biscuit pot pie.

two words. simple & easy.

This is the kinda dish you could serve to guests and they’d think you spent all day slaving in the kitchen over it. It’s comforting, homey, and rich. But make no mistake – this dish is simple af and requires less than an hour to put together. I used store bought biscuits to save on time, so all you really need to do is prepare the filling! This broccoli cheddar biscuit pot pie is so damn easy, you could enjoy it any night of the week!

How to make biscuit pie

This broccoli cheddar biscuit pot pie is quite literally, as easy as pie. It’s made in just one skillet, and only requires just a few steps. We start by making a classic broccoli cheddar soup, except much thicker and almost gravy-like. We want it thick enough so the biscuits lay perfectly on top and don’t sink. Once the soup is done, we top it with our pre-made biscuits (hint : Pillsbury Grands Southern Homestyle Biscuits are accidentally vegan!), brush ’em with a little melted vegan butter, sprinkle with parmesan, then pop it into the oven to bake until the biscuits rise and get all golden and flaky … and the soup gets all bubbly and de-lic-ious. After that, it’s dinner time. See. So easy, right?!

homemade biscuit pot pie. easier than you thought, right?

Now that you know just how easy it is to prepare this delicious broccoli cheddar biscuit pot pie, it’s time to get in the kitchen and start cookin’!

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, minced
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp kosher salt & fresh cracked black pepper, plus more to taste
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, optional

  • 2 cups unsweetened soy milk, or any other unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 pack of vegan friendly biscuits
  • ½ cup vegan parmesan
  • Chopped green onion, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

  7. While soup is simmering, open biscuits according to package directions. Melt remaining tablespoon of vegan butter and brush the tops of the biscuits. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and a few cracks of fresh black pepper. Arrange biscuits gently on top of broccoli cheddar filling and bake for 27-30 minutes until hot and bubbly, and the biscuits are golden-brown and flaky.
  8. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
  9. ENJOY!

  1. Tried and it’s such a tasty recipe! Can’t believe how this girl does it everytime but it’s always freaking delicious ???? must be the plant power ????????????????

  2. This recipe was INCREDIBLE. All of my non-vegan friends also couldn’t believe how good it was! Definitely going to make this again at least 8,000 more times.

  3. Made this with my non-vegan girlfriend and she was scooping her bowl by the end of the meal. After posting to social media about it (during the process of cooking), I had friends reaching out for the recipe. Guaranteed, must try, recipe!

  4. This recipe took me right back to my childhood! So warm and comforting. Also pretty easy to make. I will definitely be making it again 🙂

    1. Laurel, I’m so happy this brought you back to your childhood! I always loved broccoli soup growing up as well!

  5. Made this for dinner last night and it was a hit! So satisfying, delicious, and easy to make. A weeknight dinner that impresses like a Saturday night dinner! Will definitely be making it again soon – thank you!!

  6. This recipe looked so good, I decided to make it the main course for our Christmas dinner this year. Eat Figs Not Pigs Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Biscuit Pot Pie did not disappoint! It was fun to make and the flavor soooooooo amazing plus you know it’s good when everyone goes back for seconds.

    Fantastic recipe, I will be making this again!

  7. Made this for dinner the other night and it was such a hit!! I was craving broccoli cheddar soup and this is just a better version of that! Will definitely be making this again and again 🙂

  8. Made this tonight and I have to say it was absolutely delicious. I’m not a big vegan cheese lover but this was a belly full of yum. I will definitely be making this again and again. Thank you.

  9. Made this for dinner an it was so delicious! Reminded me of something my mom use to make, but even better cause it was vegan! Definitely one of those recipes i’ll always cherish and save for a cold and rain day. SO GOOD!

  10. I made this for dinner for me and my non vegan boyfriend. He couldn’t tell it was vegan! So good and so filling! My only recommendation would to be to make sure your skillet is big enough! Mine was full to the brim! This will definitely be a staple for me!

  11. This was fantastic! Everyone liked it, two of the five people were vegan the others were not and they loved it too! I may omit the salt next time, but maybe my broth was saltier than the original. So good.

  12. Amazing! I grew up on pot pies and southern food, since becoming vegan I felt like I was missing out on such a classic comfort meal. It wasn’t the meat I was missing but the flavors that come together in this down home recipe! My hubby helped me make it last night and we are having it again for lunch today! I don’t have an iron skillet so just used a pan then transferred to a casserole dish to bake. Keep these yummy recipes coming! <3

  13. This was so good! When you posted it on IG yesterday I knew I had to make it, even though it is 94 degrees and humid where I live. I used plain Silk soy milk. I usually only buy the specifically labeled Unsweetened Silk (green carton), but my store didn’t have it. Since it was a tad sweeter than I prefer I added about another 1/2 tsp of salt and about 1/3 cup of nurtitional yeast to boost the umami. I also used the Pillsbury crescent rolls because I had it on hand and just covered the top of it like a pot pie. So tasty, just like all of your recipes!

  14. Delicious!! I just made it tonight – with a few swaps based on what I had on supply. Made the biscuits from scratch using minimalist baker’s best damn vegan biscuits recipe. Swapped the broccoli for cauliflower, & the chick’n for mushrooms! Most delicious dinner I have had in a while. Bookmarked!

  15. This recipe is wonderful! I’ve been looking for more recipes to add with fall around the corner and this one is absolutely amazing. It’s full of flavor and I can’t wait to share it with my friends and family. Thank you so much for sharing!

  16. This was freaking phenomenal! It came together incredibly quickly and was so easy/comforting. I didn’t have any large pans so I ended up halving the recipe and it still made so much food. I also added jalapenos, nutritional yeast, and used Miyoko’s pepperjack cheese instead of cheddar. Thank you for this recipe!!

  17. Delicious! This recipe is a winner and a keeper! I used oat milk in place of soy milk and it worked well in the recipe. The seasoning amount in the recipe is perfect and I did not need to add any additional salt, pepper, spices, or herbs. I used a regular skillet to make the recipe and then transferred the ingredients to a pan for baking.

  18. This was TO DIE FOR! I had been craving broccoli cheddar soup for a while and this hit the spot. This is definitely a once-a-year recipe, but I look forward to having it again.
