Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter, then add 1/2 cup diced onion and 1/2 cup diced celery, cooking for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 2 cups diced carrots, 1 cup frozen peas, 3 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp dried thyme, and 1/8 tsp salt, cooking for 2 minutes to coat vegetables.
  3. Step 3: Gradually pour in 2 cups chicken broth while stirring constantly, bringing to a gentle simmer until sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Transfer vegetable mixture to a 9-inch pie dish, top with 1 lb rolled-out pie crust, crimp edges, and cut slits in the crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling bubbles through slits.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
