7. Add the garlic and saute for 30 more seconds.
8. 3.
9. Add the butter, and once the butter is melted, add the flour.

28. Notes:
29. 1.
30. Of course, if youre a carnivore and arent loving the 100% vegetable route, throw in some cooked rotisserie chicken or saute a chicken breast before adding the other ingredients, and use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
31. 2.
32. Since Chad and I are only 2 people, I halved the original recipe to make a 9x5 dish suitable for 2-3 people.
33. For a more substantial dish, double the filling, place into a deep dish pie plate, and use a full sheet of puff pastry and cut off the edges to create a circle.
34. 3.
35. You get puff pastry in the freezer section of your grocery store, near the desserts.
36. 4.
37. If you dont have a pastry brush to brush on the egg wash, you can omit the egg wash (it just wont be as golden brown) or dip a napkin in the egg wash instead and use it as your pastry brush.
38. 5.
39. If desired, saute 1 celery stalk (cut into 1/4 inch thick pieces) and 1/2 chopped yellow onion.
40. I didnt have these on hand, and I didnt find that the dish lacked anything by not having them.
41. But if you have them on hand, do as you please!
