@ChiliPepper

I have heard of using Pillsbury crusts etc...

Do you put one on the bottom and top?

Here's an easy way to be lazy with puff pastry shells, chicken or turkey  and eat well.........this one is yummy, in my opinion, and might be easier than using pie pastry.

Oh YUM - thanks!!!

Respect has a nice recipe for homemade cream-of-whatever soup, maybe she'll re-post it (hint...hint...hint!!!).

MAKE YOUR OWN CREAM OF CHIX OR CREAM OF WHATEVER SOUP

• 2T butter
• 1/4 cup flour(sub your desired thickener, as appropriate, for allergies or intolerances)
• 1/2 cup stock(low sodium broth can probably be used)--veggie or chicken is usually best, I think
• 1/2 cup milk(lowfat is okay)
• salt and pepper
• ***1/4 cup of whatever your "of" is needed to be...(ie mushroom, celery, chicken, onion,potato, broccoli, cauliflower,
• In small saucepan, put butter and the "of" ingredient and cook until soft, not just tender.(if using chicken, just make sure it's cooked through)
• Add flour and stir together. It will be thick and gooey, and that's okay.
• Slowly add stock while stirring or whisking to avoid lumps.
• Bring to a boil and cook a few minutes until thickened.(if seems too thick, you can add a tsp or so more broth, just don't forget, you've still got milk to add
• Add milk and salt and pepper and stir until combined and thick. Taste to know your seasonings prior to using it in a recipe so you can adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Yes @ChiliPepper

The first one.  I haven't tried the second one but it seems just as easy...just gives you the cream base for any type of soup/sauce!
