I had some trouble with this recipe so I had to adjust some portions. I used all of the ingredients listed with the except of the soy milk, which I replaced with evaporated milk. I followed the directions to the point of making the sauce. I used 1/4 cup of butter for the 1/4 cup flour and added the stock and evaporated milk and noticed this to be very thick so added extra stock then the thyme. Then I thought where is the cheese and noted there was no cheese mentioned so I cubed about 4 oz of velveta cheese, added it to the mixture until melted then poured this over the veggie mixture and sprinkled with 1/4 cup bread crumbs which was plenty for this dish. Then I drizzled the top with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and placed it in the oven for about 40 minutes at 350 degrees or until the top was nicely browned. The combination was really quite good, but the recipe by itself is very poorly written, IMHO.
