Parse ~ followed this exactly (expect the Doh-Doh forgot the wine) and this is divine! Oh man, oh man! We loved everything about this. I can't even think of any suggestions to even add to the recipe. Perfect in every way. Very delicious, and even greater the next day if there's any left. Thank you for a grand recipe!

Delicious! I had to use four cups of vegetable broth instead of two, and instead of adding cayenne I just put a jar of hot sauce on the table for people to use as they liked. This recipe sounded a little strange to me at first, but then I thought about eating buffalo wings with the celery and blue cheese and spiciness and I just had to try it. I'm really glad I did thanks for sharing this recipe!
