Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz mushrooms chopped
  • 1 sweet onion diced
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced
  • 2 large carrots diced
  • 3 cups potatoes diced
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 2 cups fresh green beans chopped
  • 2 cups peas
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

Pie Crust Ingredients

  • 5 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup cold plant-based butter
  • 6 tbsp cold water

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Filling: In a large pot, combine mushrooms, onion, garlic, carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, green beans, and peas. Add vegetable broth, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until vegetables are tender.
  • Mix cornstarch with a little water, then stir it into the pot to thicken the filling. Cook for an additional 5 minutes and set aside.
  • Make the Pie Crust: In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold plant-based butter and use a pastry cutter to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add cold water, 1 tbsp at a time, and mix until dough forms. Divide the dough into portions for individual pot pies.
  • Assemble the Pot Pies: Grease Souper Cube 2-cup trays. Roll out the pie crust and cut pieces that will fit inside the trays. Press the crust into the trays.
  • Fill each crust with the veggie filling and top with more crust. Crimp the edges and make small slits on top for ventilation.
  • Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the pot pies on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
  • Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your comforting, veggie-packed pot pies!
