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.

ingredients
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 onion, chopped
1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
1 pound baking potatoes, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
1 quart water
2 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 pound smoked sausage, such as kielbasa, quartered lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
directions
In a large pot, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the cabbage, potatoes, water, broth, bay leaf, thyme, and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage and potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, put a large nonstick frying pan over moderate heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and drain on paper towels. Just before serving, remove the bay leaf from the soup and stir in the sausage.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

I was very skeptical when I finished this soup. My 15 yr. old son tasted it, and said it was good. When I tasted it, I was pleasantly suprised. It was much better then I thought it would be. Relativly easy to make, and great on a chilly fall evening. Add some crusty bread for dunking, and a green salad, and you have a great meal.
