This was really easy and very tasty! I altered the recipe a little to add more vegetables (spinach) and instead of using cream I used 2 Tbsp. of light sour cream and 2 Tbsp. of fat free milk. After heating and mixing with the mustard this gave the perfect consistency. I also used low sodium veggie broth instead of chicken broth. Ate this with italian bread (whole wheat). I will definitely make this again!04/27/10
