Hi Christine! Could you update this recipe for me? I started making it tonight, and am having to wing it a little because the directions aren’t complete. For instance…how much butter total? Parsley? Broth?
Looking forward to tasting “our” creation tonight, but I’d feel much better eating “your” recipes instead!! lol!
Thanks for all you do!

Well, let’s see…I didn’t put in parsley…I added 2 cans of beef broth and 2 cans of water. I was feeling rushed, so I just added a shake of cornstarch (not flour) right to the pot. Yes. I know better. You know what happened…the cornstarch didn’t mix in well. But it wasn’t too bad…I didn’t put that much in. Anywho, it tasted good. Reminded me of hamburger gravy - only in soup form. It was nice meal for the cooler weather. I just added two loaves of Pillsbury French bread (my currrent favorite bread!)
