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.

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.
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.

This was incredible and simple. Taste similar and shares the same consistency of Trader Joes lentil soup (which really isn't soup at all). Absolutely loved it and I'd put money on it that everyone would!

This recipe was fabulous. I found the seasonings and cooking time to be perfect. I will be adding it my weekly meals. I liked it over rice.
