Meal prepping is a cornerstone of my weekly routine, especially during the fall and winter months. Each Sunday, I set aside time to prepare hearty soups, stews, and a versatile dish that doubles as a main or filling. This ritual not only keeps my family and me nourished but also simplifies weekday meals. Today, I’m excited to share three recipes that embody the cozy, gluten-free vegan flavors of the season: Pumpkin Sweet Potato Bean Stew, Vegan Broccoli Cheese Soup, and a versatile Vegan Burrito Filling Mixture.
Pumpkin Sweet Potato Bean Stew
Nothing says autumn like the comforting blend of pumpkin and sweet potato. This Pumpkin Sweet Potato Bean Stew is a hearty dish filled with fiber-rich beans, tender chunks of sweet potato, and a creamy pumpkin base. Seasoned with warm spices, it’s perfect for chilly evenings when you crave something nourishing yet satisfying. The stew pairs beautifully with gluten-free bread or rice, making it a versatile addition to your meal prep repertoire.
What I love most about this recipe is its simplicity. With minimal chopping and straightforward ingredients, it comes together effortlessly on the stovetop. Plus, the flavors only get better with time, so it’s ideal for prepping ahead. Get the full recipe here.
Vegan Broccoli Cheese Soup
Craving a creamy soup with a cheesy kick? This Vegan Broccoli Cheese Soup delivers all the comfort without any dairy. Featuring a velvety cashew-based sauce and perfectly cooked broccoli florets, this soup is rich, flavorful, and surprisingly light. It’s a family favorite, perfect for a cozy lunch or dinner alongside a gluten-free baguette.
Preparing this soup on the stovetop allows the flavors to meld beautifully. The key is to blend the cashew cheese sauce until it’s ultra-smooth and to simmer the broccoli just right to maintain its tender-crisp texture. If you’re looking for a way to add greens to your meal prep, this recipe is a must-try. Get the full recipe here.
