I made this for April Fool's Day. My family was very surprised. DD liked it and said that she would want it again. I cut this in half for three of us and I used a 14 oz can of broth and water to make the 2 1/2 cups of liquid called for. Thanks Dreamer for finding a fun recipe. I will make this again and my DD may only want it served in a glass with a straw.
