Chickpea Pot Pie
I used to love frozen vegetable pot pies. Now that I’m a big kid, I realize most of 
them are chock full of “I don’t know how to pronounce thats” and other stuff I don’t want to eat. I also realized that a pot pie filled with only vegetables isn’t the most well-rounded meal. So, I like to add a cup of chickpeas to my pie for extra protein and a nice crunch and have a simple, quick well-rounded meal that’s a great Fall warm-up.
When I make this pot pie, I use a bag of homemade cream of mushroom soup, thawed out of the freezer to keep the meal conveniently quick but able to suit our dietary needs. Following the handy chart with the recipe, the soup (and the Pot Pie) can be made to suit vegan, vegetarian, diet, gluten-free, whole foods or traditional diets.

This looks so yummy!
What a good idea for pot pie, to sub in chickpeas. I definitely want to try that.
Even though I’m vegan, my husband is not. I made this w/leftover turkey, baking in a cast iron skillet. Since I was too lazy to make two pie crust, I made only the top one.
My hubby of 43 years says it’s one of the best pot pies I’ve ever made. . . . thank you, thank you, thank you!

I made a vegan version of this and it was excellent! Enjoyed by vegans and carnivores!
Is there anyway to cook this and then freeze it so that you can microwave it? I’m trying to find lunches that will only require a microwave on the day you need to eat it. Thanks!
Sure, just bake it first and then microwave the slices. The crust just won’t be quite as crisp after being frozen/microwaved.
how many servings per pie?
8 servings
LOL! Definitely not 8 servings per pie… it’s so good I think I ate half a pie in a sitting!
