Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 2 cups baby potatoes, quartered
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, fresh or dried
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots, celery, and baby potatoes to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the milk and stir to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Fold in the frozen peas and corn. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper if needed. Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish.
Roll out the pie crust and lay it over the vegetable filling. Trim any excess crust, then tuck and crimp the edges to seal. Cut small slits in the center of the crust to allow steam to escape.
If using an egg wash, brush the beaten egg over the crust for a shiny, golden finish.
Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
