This week, it’s 100% recipes that can be made in a single pot. Let’s go!

(Reminder: all recipes are 100% plant-based. “WFPB” = Whole-food, plant-based (including oil free), GF = gluten free)

Recipes – Made in One Pot

One-Pot Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup (GF) from From My Bowl

Enjoy this classic comfort food made with soy curls. It’ll warm you up on a cold winter day.

One-Pot Vegan Italian Pasta (WFPB) from HealthyGirl Kitchen

This pasta takes just 10 minutes to cook and includes favorites like olives, capers, and marinara sauce.

Ultimate Vegan Pot Roast from Trifecta Nutrition

If you’re in the mood for a meaty recipe, enjoy this pot roast that includes Beyond Sausage to beef things up.

One-Pot Plant-Based Lentil Chili (WFPB) from NutritionStudies.org

This lentil chili is a nice changeup from the typical bean chili. Just dump everything in the pot in a few steps, simmer and serve.

Black-Eyed Pea Stew (WFPB) from Clean Food Dirty Girl

If you’re looking for a recipe to really “wow” people, this will do the trick. Plus, it’s both Instant Pot and stovetop friendly.

One-Pot Vegan Lentil Shepherdless Pie (WFPB) from The Vegan Afterglow

For the mashed potatoes lovers, Shepherdless Pie is the ultimate flavor combo. The lentils make this one hearty and filling. (Note: 200°C = ~400°F)


Stuff we love: Gotham Steel Cookware, 5 Quart Stock Pot

Each week, we feature things we love. This week, it’s the Gotham Steel Cookware 5 Quart Stock Pot.

Look: I’m not going to tell you to buy something you don’t need. Just about any stockpot will do the trick for this week’s recipes. The main thing to keep in mind is you want a large enough pot to cook with and not make a mess.

If you need a stockpot, check out the Gotham Steel Cookware 5 Quart Stock Pot on Amazon.


Easy One-Pot Pasta from Sweet Simple Vegan

Here’s another easy pasta dish with the option to add parmesan cheese that you can make at home with four ingredients.

One-Pot Creamy Mushroom Soup from Yay! For Food

Coconut milk gives this recipe a nice creaminess that pairs well with the cremini mushrooms.

1-Pot French Onion Soup from Minimalist Baker

Another classic soup, this recipe takes only 5 minutes to prep. Prepare the optional croutons to adds some extra flare.

One-Pot Vegan Chana Masala from Eat With Clarity

This Indian dish is probably easier than you think to make. The canned chickpeas provide flavor, fiber and protein.

Thai Vegetable Noodle Soup (WFPB) from Forks Over Knives

This noodle soup uses various spices and crisp veggies for a delightfully balanced recipe—no need for a side dish here.

One-Pot Cajun Rice from Everyday Easy Eats

Five minutes of prep and five steps are all it takes for this cajun rice. The kidney beans make it an option as a hearty side or an entree.

The joys of One Pot cooking

One-pot meals are another great option if you’re busy and want to limit the amount of work to prepare a meal. My favorite advantages of one-pot meals are:

  • Lots of flavors. Just because it’s contained to one pot doesn’t mean it’s basic. All the recipes above have a variety of flavors and ingredients.
  • Easy cleanup. Only one pot to clean at the end.
  • Stove simplicity. No need to monitor multiple pots and pans on the stove at one time.
  • Veggies included. One-pot recipes are generally complete meals that include veggies. There’s no need to plan a separate side dish.
  • Instant pot-friendly. Many recipes can be made in an Instant Pot to simplify things even further.

I hope you find a one-pot recipe to try this week!
