Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

2 cups homemade chicken broth, vegetable broth, or canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup sliced carrot
1 cup sliced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 package (10 ounce size) frozen sliced okra, partially thawed to separate
1 large green bell pepper, cored, seeded and coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons gumbo file powder

directions
Heat the oil in a large non-stick saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the flour; cook and stir until a reddish brown roux forms,about 5 to 6 minutes.
Gradually stir in the tomatoes with their liquid and the broth; bring to a boil. Stir in the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, salt, ground pepper, and pepper sauce. Reduce the heat; cover and simmer 30 minutes, or until the carrot is almost tender.
Add the okra, green pepper, and file gumbo powder. Cover and simmer 15 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Discard the bay leaf. Sprinkle with parsley at serving time.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
