Reviews

1. After you boil veggies remove and put in the blender and puree. This helps add thickness, especially if you are trying to reduce fat, then add back in. 2. Do not use tomatoes past or food coloring. 3. use lobster stock instead of or to supplement chic stock. 4. Try using Dry Vermouth for wine. 5. I used this recipe and added salmon over 3 years ago by mkitty
