Vege Pot Pie by Angela Seah Thulin

Most, if not all people have heard of chicken pot pie, an easy to make but delicious & sturdy meal for the whole family. Now, my son and husband are not too fond of some of the ingredients such as green peas, so I decided to make a slightly different pot pie. It turned out to be a vege-only pot pie with a few of their favorite ingredients - carrot, potato, mushroom and scallions! The soup is rich with a milky quality to it. Quite a filling meal, it was our lunch!
