It has been gray, cold, wet, and windy here in West Virginia and I am HERE FOR IT!  The trees have really started to pop and that can mean only one thing, IT'S CROCKPOT SEASON!   Nothing beats dinner simmering away all day and the whole house wafting in goodness.  This Simple Crockpot Vegan Chicken and Dumplings Recipe checks all the boxes.  

Warm, hearty, rich, and savory I can't think of anything better to warm the soul on these cold autumn nights.  Oh, and did I mention it is VEGAN!  I CANNOT wait to share this one with you so...

Let's get started!

For this Simple Crockpot Vegan Chicken and Dumplings Recipe you will need a few simple ingredients:

• 1 8oz bag of Soy Curls, broken into bite-sized pieces
• 1 Can of Biscuits
• 1 can of Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup
• 2 c Cashew Cream or Vegan Heavy Cream
• 2 Carrots, diced
• 2 Stalks of Celery, diced
• 1 Onion, diced
• 4 cloves of Garlic, minced
• 8c Vegetable Broth
• Salt and Pepper, to taste  

To begin pour the vegan cream of mushroom and cashew cream in the bottom of the slow cooker.

CASHEW CREAM INSTRUCTIONS:

To make your own cashew cream simply blend 1 cup of cashews and 1 cup of plant milk until smooth.  

Sometimes soy curls can be rather large once they are rehydrated, so I like to break them into bite-sized pieces.  

I know a lot of you are going to ask me where I get the soy curls from, so I post the Amazon link I purchased them from HERE.  

Once you've finished breaking the soy curls into bite-sized pieces, place them in the crockpot as well. 

Now add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic to the slow cooker. 

Add the vegetable broth to the crockpot.

Give everything a good stir.  

Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. 

One hour before you're ready to eat, remove the lid and give everything a nice stir.  

Cut the biscuits into bite-size pieces.  

This is what will become your dumplings. 

Put the biscuit dumplings into the crockpot. 

Return the lid and cook one more hour.  

After one hour of cooking your Simple Crockpot Vegan Chicken and Dumplings Recipe will look like this.  

Now it's time to ladle the Simple Crockpot Vegan Chicken and Dumplings Recipe into a bowl and dig in.  Y'ALL!  I wish you could smell this picture.  I'm drooling just thinking about it.  This truly is comfort food to the max and it is 100% plant based!  I know you and your family are going to love it so get in the kitchen and give it a try TONIGHT!  

And as always...

Happy Reading, Happy Eating, and Happy Crocktober,
