Vegan Scratch Pot Pie

Made a triple batch of pastry awhile ago and froze it. Today, rolled out two of the discs to make the top and bottom of our pie. We made an extra thick cream of mushroom soup (with shiitake!!), then mixed it into our veggies: potato, carrot, onion, celery. Forgot to add the green beans!

The pie took about 40 minutes to bake at 375, and we covered the top with tinfoil for the first half or so of baking.

Even though we cut steam holes, the crust wasn’t sealed well enough so it split at one of the edges. Could use some fresh herbs if everything wasn’t dead.

Parchment on the bottom seemed unnecessary and made it hard to serve without getting bits of paper in the food. Maybe parchment handles to remove the pie for cutting, or just serve it in the pie tin with no parchment.

It turned out way better than we could have asked for. The top was golden and flaky, and the veggies on the inside were soft and tasty.
