Easy Veggie Pot Pie

This was one of my go-to’s when we first went plant-based. It was familiar enough and tasted similar to chicken pot pie! The video is a couple years old now, but feel free to give it a watch and see how it’s done if you’re new to cooking. Happy eating!

Easy Veggie Pot Pie (Plant-Based)

Get ready for some southern comfort! This was one of my go-to's when we first started eating plant-based. I love the flavor and comfort it gives!

Ingredients

• 1 russet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves of garlic minced
• 2-3 cups low sodium vegetable broth, divided
• 1/4 cups fresh parsley, minced
• 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables
• 2-4 Tbsps corn starch
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 frozen pie crusts, thawed

Instructions

1. In a large pot, boil cubed potatoes until soft. Drain.
2. Steam frozen vegetables in microwave or stovetop.
3. While potatoes are boiling, cook onion and celery in 2-3 T of vegetable broth until softened. Add garlic and parsley and cook until aromatic, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Add 1 cup of broth, cooked potatoes, and vegetables to pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix 4 Tbsps corn starch with 1 cup of broth until dissolved. Add to pan and mix. Add more vegetable or corn starch as needed to achieve a thick pie filling consistency (the mixture WILL thicken as it cooks -- make sure it's a thick gravy-like consistency before you remove from heat). Remove from heat.
5. Preheat over to 400 Fahrenheit. Fit 1 thawed pie filling to your baking dish (I use a 10.5 x 7.5). Spoon pie filling into the crust. Place other thawed pie crust on top. Pinch the edges to seal. Cut slits and bake until golden brown, about 30 min.
6. Let sit about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Use any crust you want for this recipe! One of my favorites was actually the gluten-free cauliflower crust -- it gave the pie a crisp top crust!

Don't make it complicated, just throw in whatever vegetables you have! Make it your own!
