Daughter chicken potato pot pie

A few days ago, we were having a conversation at the dinner table discussing whether or not Dear Daughter is old enough to make dinner.

We decided daughter would make dinners on Friday, with coaching from me. She decided she wanted to make pot pie.

So, now she is.

She wanted chicken pot pie, so I suggested she prepare a sauce. The choices for the base were:
- vegetable stock
- butternut squash soup
- corn chowder
- V8 potato leek soup
- Campbell's chicken noodle
- Archer Farms Thai lemongrass chicken soup (that would have been my choice -- with some curry and lots of veggies)

She chose potato leek and she also chose a can of potatoes which she cut. She added the soup, cut potatoes and canned chicken to her pot.

She wanted to add spices. She decided against curry, didn't want Italian.
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoon country herb blend

She added to the pot:
- about 2 1/2 cups California blend heated in the microwave
- 1 cup corn
- about 3/4 cup white (great northern beans)

Then she put her pie crust in her deep dish pie pan.

Once she gets it all done we'll bake it...
