This was very nice thanks homegirl. I made a couple of minor changes (lower fat cream and chicken stock powder rather than salt) and resisted the urge to add a couple of bacon slices and some green onion. This was subtley flavoured and very pretty. I would make it again with the added extras I mentioned.
