    Made this recipe yesterday and it is delicious. I made some substitutions by doubling And using two kinds of mushrooms, added tumeric, Swanson low salt chicken broth and half olive oil for half of the butter. I also added a couple of bay leaves and some fresh rosemary and thyme. Very good! - 7/29/16
