Cozy soup season can last all year long, and I vote that also applies to POT PIE season. This French Onion Pot Pie is a combination of delicious French onion soup and it's all topped with a light and fluffy crust.

French Onion Soup Turned Into Pot Pie Filling

French onion soup is a savory, cheesy, soup topped with crusty bread and baked until it bubbles over. This version is thickened up and that is what makes our filling.

By using a sprinkling of flour while sautéing the onion, we can create a roux and as we add the stock, it thickens beautifully!

Make It A Meal!

So just soup covered in bread doesn't really cut it in my house as a meal (although I'd be happy with it!)

So I've made this a super beefy with ground beef and beef stock. It perfectly complements the savory onion broth and crescent roll topping.

The Perfect Pot Pie Topping

So I've made 3 pot pies this season and used a different topping for each one. Biscuits, puff pastry, and rolled out crescent dough.

Feel free to use any of those variations for this pot pie! But the official recipe calls for crescent roll dough.

Take a can of crescent rolls and roll it out so they aren't individual roll pieces and they turn into 1 big sheet. Gently move it to the top of the pot pie and crimp the edges to the dish. That's it!

What Baking Dish To Use

So since this technically is more soup-y than a traditional pot pie, I chose to use a deep round dish to hold the filling.

However you could definitely split this into 4-6 individual portions if you like!

I also place the baking dish on a baking sheet just in case you get that classic bubbling over that everyone loves in a French Onion Soup.

    Would it work to make this like a traditional pot pie with a bottom crust also? Or will it be too soupy?

      I would recommend not doing a bottom crust, it still has that "soup" feel and it would get pretty soggy on the bottom!
