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.

We love this recipe, it's our go-to when I have fresh rabbit to cook. It's a great recipe to play around with too - for instance, we'll be using homemade blackberry juice in place of the wine, and pear juice (from home-canned pears) instead of broth. All in all, a great recipe. Serve it with rosemary roasted potatoes and garlic butter carrots.
