Fondue Broth

Description: 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

Steps:

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!
