Vegan Goulash Recipe

This vegan goulash recipe is just as delicious and comforting as the traditional version!

Goulash is one of the most ultimate comfort foods. Meat and pasta and sauce and cheese and spices all combined for a yummy, warm satisfying meal. But depending upon the diet plan you follow, goulash may not be on your menu. But it can be. If you follow a keto or low carb diet, you need a substitute for the noodles, and if you follow a vegan diet you need to replace the meat and cheese.

You can also eliminate the cheese altogether.

This recipe uses the same base recipe as my low carb goulash does, it just uses plant based crumbles and vegetable broth. You can, however, eliminate the crumbles as well, replacing them with kidney beans so it would be more like a chili. Alternatively, you can use the crumbles and add kidney beans. It’s a super versatile recipe.
