I made this last night. I made it will real cheese, sour cream, etc. - nothing fat free I am afraid to say.

Next time, I will experiment using 50% milk and 50% chicken broth to make it not so thick...I am also a salt fanatic (bad vice) and felt it taste pretty bland until I added both sea salt and a bit of garlic salt to it.

Otherwise, it is QUITE tasty.
