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.

ingredients
1 1/2 cup long grain rice, parboiled
2 1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons butter
1 can (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced

3 cubes chicken bouillon
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup Asiago cheese, grated
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chiffonnade or chopped

directions
In a large thick bottomed sauce pot, melt the butter over medium high heat. Stir in the rice, diced onion, celery and chopped garlic. Continue to stir the mix until the rice starts to turn golden brown.
Add the bouillon cubes, water, diced tomato and tomato paste. Reduce the heat, cover and let simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. When the water has been absorbed, add the heavy cream and Asiago.
Season to taste with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Let the rice sit for a minute over low heat and you are ready to serve.
Garnish with chiffonnade basil and some fresh diced tomato.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
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.
