Flavor is really good but I’m not sure why my sauce is soupy. It is not thick at all and looks nothing like the picture. Followed the directions…what did I do wrong?
OH NO! I am so sorry! I didn’t calculate the almond milk and stock correctly. I have just updated that! Again, apologize for my mistake on that.
