French Onion Soup Pot Pie

FRENCH ONION SOUP POT PIE
Canning season is in full swing and Olivia and I have been super busy filling the basement shelves with every kind of vegetable imaginable.  A retired teacher friend of Olivia's gives her a large quantity of sweet corn every year.  Last week she processed lots and lots of corn.  She was kind enough to share with me so I was able to make vegetable soup and corn chowder.  Olivia shared the idea with me of making carmelized onions and canning them.  Boy are they good!  You just cook down vidalia onions in a crock pot with butter and then can them.  They are delicious.

When the canning season is at its peak, Olivia and I are always looking for something good and easy to make for dinner just in case we are making a "batch" of something that day.  This french onion soup pot pie is a great example.  It is rich and hearty and, best of all, easy!  Try it soon!
