This was great! I substituted the heavy cream for 1 1/2 cup whole milk and added 1/4 tsp fresh thyme leaves and 2/3 lb cubed boneless ham, then doubled the recipe. When serving, I threw a pinch of shredded sharp cheddar cheese into each bowl. My husband, myself and my 5 children loved it! When it was time for bedtime snack, they finished it off!

Wonderful! Made this last night, followed the recipe exactly except I only had two cans of Chicken Broth, which equalled a little less then four cups of liquid. Everything else was the same. Turned out great, loved the texture, and it didn't need anything else, no bacon, no chives, no sour cream. It was perfect just the way it was. Thanks DancingCook, we loved it!

When I got this recipe, my fiance repeatedly asked me to make it. Am I glad I did - it is so very good! My kids (even the fussy one) all loved it. Great way to get them to eat their veggies. Thanks for a simple, effective recipe. My only suggestions are to add a little garlic (If you like it), and maybe garnish with a dollop of sour cream. MMM
