Thank you for this recipe, chia! It was easy to make and delicious and I'll certainly make it again. I made it with homemade chicken stock and probably double the number of mushrooms - and I used several different mushrooms, including some Swiss browns - because I love mushrooms. The leftovers also heated successfully next day in the microwave.
