Uses for fondue broth?

Question

I had meat fondue last night: beef, chicken, and shrimp cooked in a simple vegetable broth at the table. When we were finished eating, the broth was thrown away. I could only help but wonder: are there any typical dishes made with the used broth?

Answer

I would use this broth to make soups. It would make a great base for a number of soups such as scotch broth, but also for using for the stock for making other soups such as lentil or whatever you fancy.

Good luck!

What can I do to add more flavor into my beef barley soup?

Question

This time around my beef barley soup is tasting a bit on the plain side. It has the right amount of saltiness but is lacking in the flavorful department. The ingredients used thus far have been:

Beef Stock, Water, Salt, Ground Black Pepper, Seasoned Pepper, Rosemary, Onions, Carrots, Barley, and Cubed Beef.

What can I do to help boost its flavor?

Answer

• If you use self-made beef stock, try boiling a bit longer, so that the flavour of the beef is a bit more concentrated.
• Boil your soup a bit longer.
• Use more beef stock and/or cubed beef.
• I don't know how much herbs you put in. Maybe a bit more pepper or rosemary can make a difference.
