Notes
Remember this recipe is FLEXIBLE! You can use whatever veggies you like. I find frozen veggies to be perfect for this recipe, and I typically use a combo of a peas and carrots mix, along with some corn.If using fresh veggies, it's a good idea to cook them until they are tender, then drain and dry well.
For potatoes I highly prefer red potatoes, as they tend to hold their shape and texture and don't break down in the soup. Just make sure to either microwave or boil your diced potatoes before adding them to the soup, so that they are tender.
This is a fairly thick soup as written, but you can easily thin it down by simply adding more milk. This soup reheats nicely, though more milk will be needed when doing that.
While I stick to salt, pepper and a little bit of thyme in this recipe since my kids don't have the most adventurous tastes, feel free to get creative with your favorite seasonings.
If you want to make traditional pot pie versus soup, simply place the filling into a deep dish pie shell, finish off with a pie crust on top. Trim and seal the edges, cut small slits in the top center of the pie crust and bake for approximately 35 minutes at 425 degrees F, or until lightly browned.
