Instructions:
- Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the almond milk, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt, and a dash of black pepper. Mash until smooth and set aside.

- Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 7-10 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tbsp water to form a slurry. Stir this into the vegetable mixture to thicken the sauce.
- Add the kidney beans, green beans, corn kernels, and asparagus. Stir to combine.
- Mix in the dried thyme, rosemary, sage, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes.

- Season the top with the remaining salt and black pepper.

Tips:
- Make sure to chop all vegetables uniformly for even cooking.
- For smoother mashed potatoes, ensure they are cooked thoroughly before mashing.
- Feel free to swap out or add any veggies based on what's available seasonally.
- If you prefer a creamier filling, you can use a plant-based cream instead of vegetable broth.
- Lightly sauté the greens before adding them to the filling to maintain their vibrant color and texture.
