vegetable pot pie with puff pastry

Soup is literally all I crave right now, and this one is so cozy and delicious! It's filled with veggies and fresh herbs, and topped with a puff pastry crust. It gives the feel of a veggie pot pie with much less effort. And big points for being able to make this recipe all in one big pot for easy clean up! I might add this to the Christmas menu.

Hope you enjoy xo
