A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
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.

Very easy and surprisingly the ricotta was quite good in it. I only had regular diced tomatoes on hand so I added in about 1/4 cup diced onion and some dehydrated celery flakes to try to account for those flavors. I think it worked fine that way. Will make this again.
