Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 cup baby potatoes, diced
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add diced carrots, celery, and baby potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 8 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquids and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the frozen peas to the mixture and cook for an additional 5 minutes, letting the mixture thicken.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. The filling should be creamy but not too thick.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using in your favorite vegetarian crust for pot pie.
