Delicious! I added a little apple smoked salt at the end to enhance the bacon..also, I deglazed the pan after cooking shrimp with buttery Chardonnay! Fantastic

DM in TX ★ 5.0/5

Made this for lunch today. It was delicious! I did make a few minor alterations - cut the thyme in half, used almost a full tsp of red pepper flakes, doubled the garlic, extra bacon and added about 1 1/2 C chopped potatoes. My husband said it was delicious which is high praise since I'm not much of a cook. ;-)

Viki Moss ★ 5.0/5

Very good! I needed a little more quantity so increased the roux mixture and more broth plus added a few carrot slices. Will make this again!

Jennifer Williamson ★ 5.0/5

Absolutely delish! Fairly simple too which is nice :)

Instructions do but say when to add the oregano and thyme. I added then along with the bay leaf and garlic.

Did you make this recipe?
