1

Prepare the vegan chicken substitute

Start by preparing your vegan chicken substitute. You can use store-bought vegan chicken strips or make your own from tofu or seitan. Season it with your favorite poultry seasoning and cook it in a skillet until golden brown. Set aside.

2

Saute the vegetables

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.

3

Add the herbs and spices

Sprinkle in some thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder to the pot. Stir and let the fragrance fill your kitchen for a moment before moving on.

4

Make the creamy broth

Pour vegetable broth into the pot and bring it to a simmer. Add nutritional yeast, soy sauce, and a splash of non-dairy milk for extra creaminess. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

5

Thicken the broth

In a separate bowl, whisk together some cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Slowly pour it into the simmering broth while stirring constantly. Keep stirring until the broth thickens slightly.

6

Add the dumplings

Now it's time to drop in the dumplings! You can make your own vegan dumplings or use store-bought options. Gently place them on top of the simmering broth. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

7

Add the vegan chicken and serve

Finally, add the cooked vegan chicken substitute to the pot and stir gently. Let it heat through for a few minutes until everything is piping hot. Serve your vegan Chicken and Dumplings in bowls, garnished with fresh herbs if you like. Enjoy!
