The recipe that inspired it calls for even more, if I recall. I'll reduce it next time as I thought it could have been thicker.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the feedback, Laura.

The only pr...I tried this today, it was delicious. The only problem was it didn't make enough. I reduced the stock by one cup, though, so it would be a little thicker, which meant it didn't need the half and half. And I added 2 cloves garlic, once the butter and onions started I couldn't resist adding a little garlic to it. Also, I didn't have a parmesan rind (but I will save this next one!), so just crumbled a few small chunks of parmesan in it and left them. Those turned out to be fun, a little surprise you would come upon while eating, very good.<BR/><BR/>I didn't think it took too long? At least not to prepare, which is the key for me--just a few minutes work, and then I could let it cook for a while.<BR/><BR/>Anyway--delicious!
