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.

Leeks with potatoes, carrots, and onions slow-cooked with butter and finished with some evaporated milk for a creamy touch.

6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish, if desired
5 cups water
2 leeks, cleaned and white parts chopped
1 tablespoon salt
black pepper, to taste
2 onions, chopped
1/3 cup butter
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
4 chicken bouillon cubes
13 ounces evaporated milk
Combine the potatoes, parsley, water, leeks, salt, pepper, onions, butter, carrot, celery, and chicken bouillon cubes in a crock pot. Mix well. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the vegetables are tender.
Add the evaporated milk to the crock pot and turn the heat to high heat. Let cook for 30 minutes or until heated through.
Serve the soup garnished with additional chopped parsley, if desired.

Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Changed water and bouillon cubes to a good brand of chicken broth (no MSG)and added a very small amount of real cooked bacon crumbles with the evaporated milk. This was good
