This hearty vegetable pot pie is made with a flaky homemade pie crust and tons of savory spices. Easily customize with your favorite veggies for an all-around crowd pleaser.
Add vegetable shortening and knead until a uniform consistency is achieved.
Add the cold water and knead again until a dough forms.
Split the dough into 2 equal sized portions.
Use a rolling pin to roll each portion to about 1/4 inch thick, and about 10 inches diameter.
Use one crust to line the pie plate and set the second aside for the topping.
For the filling
Preheat your oven to 425° Fahrenheit.
Chop the onion, celery, and carrots. Peel and chop the potatoes into about 1" pieces.
In a medium pot, saute the onion in olive oil (or butter) for about 3-5 minutes until it begins to soften.
Add carrots, celery and spices to the pot and stir.
Add the broth and potatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Let boil about 10 minutes or until potatoes are mostly fork-tender.
Add the flour and stir constantly until mixture has thickened.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Top with the second layer of pie crust, pinch the edges to adhere, and cut a few slits in the top of the crust to vent.
Bake uncovered at 425° Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Then, cover with aluminum foil (to prevent the crust edges from burning) and bake 5-10 more minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
