Made this exactly as stated. We didn't care for it. We thought it was bland and to much liquid. So I added some last minute changes to suit us. I took out two quarts of liquid. Added 1/2 tablespoon of crab boil liquid and 1 tablespoon of old bay seasoning. This made it so much better in our opinion. If I would make this again I would reduce the liquid down more and maybe even replace most of it with vegetable stock and adjust seasonings to taste. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I made this for Fall PAC 2009
