Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly oil or spray a 2-3 quart casserole dish.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Give it a quick spray of oil, if desired, and add the onions. Cook until onions soften, 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the celery, mushrooms, and garlic and cook for 2-3 more minutes, until mushrooms exude their juices.

Step 4

Add the asparagus and two tablespoons of vegetable broth, cover pan, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until asparagus is bright green and beginning to become tender.

Step 5

Whisk the flour into the cup of vegetable broth. Add it, the milk, nutritional yeast, thyme, and basil and heat until bubbly.

Step 6

Add the chickpeas and salt and pepper to taste. Turn heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Pour into prepared casserole dish and top with an even layer of potatoes. Sprinkle potatoes with salt, if desired.

Step 8

Bake until casserole is bubbly and top is lightly browned, 25-45 minutes (frozen potatoes will take longer than fresh).

Step 9

If top does not completely brown, place it under the broiler for a few seconds.
