This was delicious. I added some thyme and rosemary. I think I used a little less stock than 3 cups. Otherwise I followed the recipe. It tasted great, and it was quick and easy to make. (Be careful not to curdle the milk. I would suggest not bringing it back to a simmer after adding the cream. Just warm it up.)
