Kale & White Bean Potpie with Chive Biscuits
Ingredients:
For the Potpie Filling:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 large carrots, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 4 cups kale, chopped (stems removed)
- 2 cups cooked white beans (or 1 can, drained and rinsed)
- 2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
- 1 tablespoon flour (optional, for thickening)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Chive Biscuits:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ½ cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions:
1. Make the Potpie Filling:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped kale and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it begins to wilt.
- Add the white beans, vegetable broth, almond milk, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer.
- If you prefer a thicker filling, whisk 1 tablespoon of flour into a little bit of the broth to make a slurry, then stir it back into the pot.
- Let the filling simmer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning as needed.
2. Make the Chive Biscuits:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the chopped chives.
- Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on top of the potpie filling in the skillet or transfer the filling to a baking dish and place the biscuits on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
3. Assemble and Serve:
- Once the biscuits are golden and baked through, remove the potpie from the oven.
- Serve the kale and white bean potpie hot, with the fluffy chive biscuits on top. Enjoy!
This dish is a fantastic plant-based comfort food that’s both nourishing and satisfying. The creamy kale and white bean filling, topped with savory, herb-infused biscuits, makes for a perfect meal to enjoy on a cozy evening. Enjoy!

Here are some storage tips:
Storage:

Freezing:

Reheat the dish thoroughly before serving to ensure it’s hot all the way through. Enjoy your leftovers!
what to serve with Kale & White Bean Potpie with Chive Biscuits
The Kale & White Bean Potpie with Chive Biscuits is already a hearty, filling dish, but you can pair it with a few light, refreshing sides to balance the richness and add variety. Here are some great ideas:
1. Simple Green Salad
- A fresh salad with mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, or baby kale) dressed with a light vinaigrette (olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper) complements the richness of the potpie and adds some crisp freshness.
2. Roasted Vegetables
- Roasted root vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, or parsnips work wonderfully alongside the potpie. The caramelized sweetness of the roasted vegetables pairs nicely with the savory flavors of the dish.
3. Crispy Brussels Sprouts
- If you’re looking for something a bit more substantial but still light, roasted or sautéed Brussels sprouts with a touch of balsamic glaze or lemon juice provide a slightly bitter contrast that balances the creamy potpie.
4. Sautéed Greens (like Spinach or Swiss Chard)
- A side of sautéed greens with a hint of garlic and olive oil would complement the kale in the potpie and add extra vitamins and fiber.
5. Pickled Vegetables
- A small side of tangy pickled vegetables (like cucumbers, radishes, or beets) can add a refreshing crunch and acidity to balance the rich, creamy filling.
6. Apple and Fennel Slaw
- A light, crisp slaw with thinly sliced apples, fennel, and a lemony dressing adds a refreshing, slightly sweet element that contrasts well with the savory potpie.
7. Crisp Crackers or Bread
- If you’d like a little extra crunch or want to soak up any extra filling, serve some whole-grain crackers or a crusty bread on the side.
8. Fruit Salad
- A light fruit salad with citrus fruits like oranges, grapes, or apples, along with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of mint, can provide a refreshing and sweet contrast after a savory meal.
These sides will enhance the flavors of the Kale & White Bean Potpie while keeping the overall meal balanced and not too heavy. Enjoy your meal!
