The only change I made to the recipe was to double the cayenne. I like a little kick, what can I say. It was really good and the leftovers I had the next day were even better. A super easy to make recipe. Thanks so much for posting it!

This started out as a good base but was very bland so I added some extra celery seed and dill. And tons of salt and pepper. It was also extremely thick so I added a cup or so of milk. Next time I will try this with some shredded carrot and celery as suggested by another reviewer.

Sue L, my dear, this is just divine. WOW!! It disappeared at my house too. Creamy and buttery. I liked the use of cayenne for some spiciness. Comfort food extraordinaire. Thanks. I look forward to making this all winter long ;D
