YUM, YUM, YUM! This sauce exceeded my expectations. I did add some garlic as others suggested and used all chicken broth and no wine (I didn't have any wine on hand). I also used low fat sour cream. The color of the sauce was beautiful. I served this with Fried Green Tomatos sprinkled with a little bit of goat cheese. The sauce complimented the tomatos perfectly! Thanks for a great coulis recipe!

It's not often I'm this impressed when I try a new recipe. I often rate the recipes I try highly, with five stars, but it's difficult to differentiate when something I try is even better than that. This one is. I was tempted to used roasted red peppers for this, thinking the fresh red bell peppers wouldn’t provide enough flavor. Wrong. I added some fresh minced garlic for complexity and depth but other than that I didn’t deviate from the recipe and, other than adding salt and pepper, won’t the next time I make this either. Interestingly, it was equally as delicious without the sour cream as it was with it. I served this with “Simply Parmesan Chicken,” recipe also from this site, and linguine, but the possibilities for using this are endless.

This has a mild yet delicious flavor. Have made it several times and served it over ravioli. I do add garlic, oregano, and used light sour cream as other reviewers mentioned. Can't wait to try with chicken and shrimp. To the reviewer who used garlic instead of shallots, you need the mellow flavor of the slow cooked shallots rather than just a teaspoon or two of garlic.

Made this to a "T" and it was pretty bland and tasteless. Probably won't make it again.

Delicious!!!! I made this for friends, and they absolutely loved it. I added three cloves of garlic, some oregano, a little extra sour cream, and a little half and half, and it turned out lovely. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!

This sauce is absolutely incredible, and healthy too! I added a little garlic to the recipe, and used very low sodium chicken stock and light sour cream. I ended up placing the sauce on top of baked skinless boneless chicken breasts. The meal was perfect in every way, and looked so gourmet.

I made this with leeks and sauteed the veggies in some basil flavored olive oil. Then I poured it over some grilled chicken. My husband and I thought it was great. Next time I'll try it with some fish! Thanks!!

We didn't get why this was rated 5 stars so many times. Maybe I did something wrong? I used garlic instead of shallots but besides that we did everything according to the recipe. We don't have a blender so we used a mini food processor which made it pretty smooth. I think the main thing we didn't like was that it had little flavor. We put it over Orange Roughy. It needs something but I don't know what.

We really liked this-- we used it as a sauce on a chicken sandwich. We tend to like spicy foods, so we added some cayenne pepper at the end to give it some bite.

This was great! As recommended, I added 3 cloves of garlic and did not have sour cream so used dairy cream instead and it was wondeful! I served over white fish and it was a big hit at dinner last night.
