Author Notes: I made this a few days ago in about half an hour and in one pot. Therefore this recipe may be my new kitchen god. It’s creamy, satisfying AND vegan, plus it works well as both a main or a side dish. Aaaaaand the leftovers are great for lunch. If you don’t eat it for breakfast, that is.
