This was delicious. I used a Vidalia onion, because that's what I had in the house. I was a bit skeptical about 4 large cloves of garlic, but this came out with a lovely, delicate flavor. After the onions and garlic were cooked and I added the broth I "buzzed" it with my immersion blender to make a smoother sauce, and then cooked it down before adding the cream. I'll definitely be making this again.

This was soooooo good, I actually licked my plate. I reduced it down to two servings as I'm not a fan of leftover cream sauces, and I wish I had doubled the sauce as it was such a small amount that it cooked down too much. But YUM! Thank you for this!
