This sounded interesting so thought I'd give it a try. I used a no trans fat margarine for the butter and fat free evaporated milk for the cream (something I do with all recipes to lower fat). It's not bad but but not great either. If you want something hot and nourishing for a lunch or a take along Thermos bottle for an outing on a cold day this is a good bet.
