This was extremely bland and watery. I made it exactly as it was written... but it needed help.

This was an epicurean joy! The only changes: only 1 cup of green onions and used dried basil. Very rich and enjoyable. The prep time was longer for me, more like 20 minutes. Next time I'll use Half & Half to cut down on the richness.
