Chicken Pot Pie

Even though this is for Chicken pot pie, I just used leftover turkey instead.

First I make the Chicken Noodle Soup recipe only I don't add noodles, just potatoes and peas and carrots. Make it a little thicker than you would the soup.
Then I make a crust:
4 Cups Flour
1 1/2 Cups Shortening*
2 tsp Salt
1/2 to 1 Cup Water
(This is for top and bottom crust for a 9x13 pan)

Mix and then divide in half. Roll out half for the bottom and place in pan, fill with the soup and then roll out the rest of the dough and place on top.
Bake at 375 degrees for 35-45 minutes (until crust is a golden brown)

*I use butter flavor shortening and I think it makes the crust taste better
