Fondue Broth

By carol gorman

Denis and I have had the most wonderful evenings with friends over our fondue pot. Lots of wine and great conversations. Some evenings lasting 4 or 5 hours. Hope you will all try this recipe and enjoy it as much as we do!

Ingredients

• 2 bay leaves
• 2 garlic cloves, minced (I use 4-5)
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley
• 2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
• 2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans nonfat beef broth (I use Campbell's sodium reduced- fat-free broth)
• 0.5 (750 ml) bottle dry white wine or 1 cup water
• 2 cups water
• 1 (1 ounce) package French onion soup mix
• 0.5 (8 ounce) bottle of heinz seafood sauce

Preparation

Step 1

1 Mix all the ingredients in your fondue pot, and simmer for 1 hour. 2 When you are ready to start, bring the broth to a boil. 3 We usually have thinnly sliced beef (Chinese fondue beef), large raw tiger shrimp, scallops, portabello mushrooms, and chicken. 4 Of course, you can have what ever meat and vegetables you wish. 5 Guten apetit!
