This healthy update to a chicken pot pie recipe is just as delicious without the meat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 1 cup small diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
- 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup butter substitute, such as Earth Balance
- 1/3 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 3/4 cups vegetable broth
- 2/3 cup almond or soy milk
- Two 9-inch deep dish, unbaked pie crusts, lard free
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan, combine the carrots, peas, potatoes and celery. Cover with water, bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onions in the butter substitute until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, celery seed and garlic powder. Cook for 2 minutes to get the flour taste out. Slowly stir in the broth and then add the milk. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the drained vegetables.
Roll out one of the unbaked crusts and place in a 9-inch-deep pie plate. Pour the mixture into the bottom crust. Roll out the second pie crust and place on top. Seal the edges and cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Cook's Note: Line a jelly-roll pan or baking sheet with foil and place the pie on that before cooking. It will keep any filling from dripping into the oven and burning.

Trisha, this was so good and super easy to make. However, as most cooks do, I added my own twist. Not too much but a splash of Chardonnay and used 2% milk. Was so delicious!! XOxoxox

We really liked it. My brother and my daughter gave it two thumbs up (she wanted to take all the crust off the top. My brother didn't even notice it was vegetarian, he really loved the sauce and veggies. I didn't have a potato but next time I'll put it in. I had some leftover edaname and added that (so it added protein and we all like it in there. Delish. Thanks Trisha!

We thought this was very good. I used vegan pie crust (Immaculate and made everything else the same as Trisha's except that I cut the amount of butter substitute in half (from 1/2 cup to 1/4 cup. Because these were vegan crusts, I had to bake them at a lower temperature--375 degrees for about an hour instead of 425 for 35 minutes. I don't very often see vegetable based recipes on the food network and was thrilled to see this.
