Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
- Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir well, cooking for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the vegetable broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the creamy vegetable mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, spreading it evenly.
- Carefully place the pie crust over the filling, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free pie crust.
