This recipe was sooooo good. I used a bit of chicken broth and evaporated milk in place of the cream because that is what I had in my pantry. It was very delicious. We recently had a mussel dish at a restaurant and I was wanting to duplicate it; this recipe was so close. Great discovery!

Wow!!!! I didn't think a recipe this simple could be this great. The only thing I did different was to add asparagus while the mussels were steaming, and the broth complimented it well. My wife, myself, and even our two year old loved it!

@RebeccaLowene I love this recipe too, but I lighten the sauce sometimes by using low sodium reduced fat chicken broth instead of the cream. It's TO DIE FOR!

I got tired of making mussels the same way so I decided to try this. It was great. I added pasta to it and thicken the sauce as well. The only thing I did wrong was add a little too much salt but other than that it was great. This is my next go to mussel recipe.

My 1st attempt at cooking mussels...am I ever glad I used this recipe- they were phenomenal! The broth is what makes it IMO- I followed along exactly, used sauv. blanc as my wine. After the 1st bowl of mussels, I ended up taking them out of the shell and eating it as soup. Might not have been the healthiest way to eat them, but it was worth it.

So simple, so amazingly delicious. This recipe has made me second guess ordering mussels in a restaurant. Served it with some crusty bread and a good glass of wine, loved it!

Wonderful Mussells broth. I added some saffron threads which provided a nice taste though they are terribly expensive. The broth made a nice dipping sauce for crusty bread.

I've never made mussels before, but the recipe is very simple and delicious. Will definitely make this again.

This recipe is great for special occasions but I wonder if I could "lighten" this up for every day and have it still be just as good??? Any suggestions?
