This recipe was wonderful. I had to substitute for ingredients I didn't have: for the whipping cream I used evaporated milk,the sun dried tomatoes I used fresh tomato, broccoli I used frozen French cut string beans. I thickened the whole recipe with 2 tablespoons of flour in 1/4 cup water at the end.Yummy!!!!
