I used 2Tablespoons of olive oil to saute the onions and garlic b/c a half cup seemed like way too much. My DH and I felt that the flavor was quite bland and I had to jazz it up with pepper and extra salt. I was tempted to use chicken broth instead of water but I wanted to try to stick to the recipe as written. I subbed half and half for the cream. I liked the flavor of the ginger. Made for My 3 Chefs.
