I had high hopes for this recipe since I love the combination of ingredients. I do wish I had checked the amounts and steps before starting. My sauce came out thick and clumpy, not creamy at all. Plus, the directions do not state when to add the broth and milk. As I later checked Karen's recipe, I found that the flour here (4 T. vs. 2 T.)was doubled and also saw when to add the liquids. I will try this again as we liked the flavors, but will make adjustments. Made for My 3 Chefs.
