Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Cook the frozen mixed vegetables according to package directions, then drain.
- In a 2-quart pan over medium heat, melt margarine or butter.
- Add chopped onion, sliced celery, and crushed thyme; cook until onion is tender, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in cream of broccoli soup and milk until smooth.
- Combine the cooked vegetables with the soup mixture and transfer to a baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until bubbly and heated through.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary instead of thyme, or add a splash of white wine to the vegetable mixture. You can substitute the cream of broccoli soup with homemade vegetable or chicken soup for a healthier version. If you prefer a flaky crust, use a pre-made pie crust instead of baking it without one, similar to the approach taken in Pecan Spice Cookies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Can I freeze the pot pie before baking?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled pot pie before baking. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When ready to bake, there’s no need to thaw; simply increase the baking time by about 10-15 minutes until it’s hot and bubbly.
