1/4 c. all-purpose flour

1 t. ground rosemary

1/4 t. ground allspice

4 c. water

1 c. liquid non-dairy creamer

1/2 c. semi-sweet white wine (I used a Piesporter)

1 T. light brown sugar

lots of freshly cracked pepper

salt to taste

3 T. margarine

In large saucepan mix dry soup mixes, flour, rosemary and allspice to evenly distribute all ingredients.

Add water, stir well, then cook over medium-high heat, stirring often till thickened.

Add creamer, white and red wine, brown sugar and cracked pepper. Stir well and boil softly for a few minutes.

Add margarine, then simmer on low heat, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes: For cracked pepper, use large grind on your pepper mill or take whole peppercorns and crush with the flat side of a large sturdy knife on your cutting board.
