Method:

1. In a heavy saucepan, combine the broth, wine, bouillon concentrate, onion, and garlic. Bring this to a boil over medium heat, and let it boil until reduced to one­third the original volume. (This will take at least 15 to 20 minutes.)

2. When the mixture is reduced, pour it into a blender (if you're not sure your blender will take the heat, let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes first), turn it on, and add the guar. Blend for 15 seconds or so.

3. Pour it back into the saucepan, turn the heat back on to low, and whisk in the cream and the gravy seasoning liquid. Salt and pepper to taste, heat through, and serve.
