The Hamptons Vegan is pleased to present: a peaceful pot pie.
Yes, this peaceful pot pie is vegan so that means no harm, no foul or fowl! It’s a piece of peaceful comfort food that you can make your own just by altering the veggies or faux meat ingredients. And you can use your own crust or use a store-bought variety.
Because this pot pie is a throwback to the comfort food you grew up eating. But without the meat or dairy. So it’s perfect for a cold winter night or when your tummy needs a warm hug. And it works great for potlucks, too!
Preparation for peaceful pot pie for potlucks and plenty of other things!
Some of the great things about the peaceful pot pie are the simple ingredients, the ease of preparation, and the freezability. Is that a word? Sorry, no, not a word. But I am using it anyway.
And another great thing is its portability, too! You can make one big pie or several little ones. They also reheat well for leftovers.
I love to make these ahead of time and have them ready to go at a moment’s notice. So when there’s just no time to start a whole meal from scratch, thaw it a bit, and pop it in the oven. And if you keep some individual pies handy in the freezer, everyone can grab a meal pie whenever it’s needed.
So we took these to our first vegan potluck at the Westhampton Beach Library! And they are welcome after a peaceful protest, too!
Need a pot pie hug?!
Because if you are in need of a warm hug now, head to the kitchen. Turn on some Norah Jones (or your go-to happy-music-to-cook-with station). Then pour a glass of wine (or chamomile tea) and assemble your peaceful pot pie ingredients into a lovely meal.
While you wait for your oven timer to ding, put on your comfiest clothes (if you haven’t already), have some cuddle time with your cat, dog, or human, (or other), and get ready to enjoy the rest of your evening.
Because your cares will melt away after that the first bite of your tummy-hugging peaceful pot pie. Now take a couple of deep breaths, and slow it down. There. All will be right with the world again before you know it. So consider yourself hugged.
XOXO

Pleased to Present: Peaceful Pot Pie
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- In a saucepan (about the 2-quart size), combine chick'n, carrots, celery, and peas. Add water enough to cover and bring to a boil. Then turn it down to a simmer for 15 minutes, uncovered.
- After 15 minutes, remove from heat and drain veggies with a strainer over a 2-cup or larger heatproof measuring cup to reserve the liquid. Set veggies aside. Add enough water to reserved veggie cooking liquid to measure to 1 3/4 cups. Add the 2 teaspoons broth base or 1 veggie bouillon cube and mix together. Set aside. (If using broth rather than base or bouillon, then use enough to measure to 1 3/4, omitting the water)
- In the same saucepan. veggies were cooked in, cook onion in the butter over medium heat until soft and translucent.
- Whisk in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Cook for a couple of minutes, then slowly stir in broth and then the non-dairy milk
- Turn heat to low-med and simmer until thickened, stirring frequently. (A few minutes should do)
- Put one pie crust into a pie plate and then spoon veggies into the crust. Pour hot broth over vegetables in the pie crust. Top with remaining pie crust and then cut a few slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbly.
