It’s only a week until National Fun with Fondue Month–thanks Louise for letting me in on the news! I am a firm believer that there is no sense waiting until the last minute to eat good food, so I made Shrimp Curry Fondue this month for a fun, quick supper.

I got this recipe in my first professional job a number of years ago.  Every year there was a department Christmas party where employees brought in amazing food, and productivity took a nose dive.  I acquired many of my favorite recipes here and always think of the cook when I recreate the dish.  Forget your 15 minutes of fame–bring the right food to the company party and it could last a lifetime!

The recipe has simple mix-and-heat directions and my biggest challenge was finding canned cream of shrimp soup.  An online search brought up a number of sources–and a mention of Walmart where I picked it up locally (and more economically).  Hooray!

I will admit that cream of shrimp soup stretches the definition of natural a bit.  But the curry that gives it its distinctive flavor and sunny gold color is a great addition to a healthy diet.  According to recent research, curry has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may boost the immune system.  And perhaps you could dip some lightly steamed cauliflower or other veggies along with your bread…

Not a seafood fan?  The fondue also works great with cream of chicken soup and canned chicken.  No fondue pot?  Add less liquid and serve cold in a bowl with your favorite dippers.  Just call it Shrimp Curry Dip.

How’s that for a versatile recipe!
