My husband made this tonight for dinner. It was delicious! It was his first time for making white sauce and we did not have any dill weed either. And it was still delicious! It was so much fun to see him attempt this, he did not want me to help:), and flavorful hot soup for dinner also.

I wouldn't make this to start with, since it has 12 grams of fat. Doesn't quite make the "low fat" list for me.

The kids enjoyed this & requested it even after it was finished off.
