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.

Here's a classic recipe for matzo balls that brings tradition to your kitchen, whether it's for a special occasion or just an everyday meal. Simple ingredients yield comforting results.

4 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable shortening, melted
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup matzo meal
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, water, shortening, and salt, mixing well. Add the matzo meal and stir until combined. Do not over mix. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
Wet your hands slightly and form the mixture into golf ball-size balls.
Meanwhile, bring a soup pot of salted water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the balls in the boiling water. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the matzo balls float to the top and are completely cooked inside.
Remove the matzo balls with a slotted spoon and place in a shallow baking dish. Let cool slightly then cover and chill until ready to reheat in a pot of chicken soup.
Or, to serve immediately, remove the matzo balls from the cooking pot and add to a pot of hot chicken soup.

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.

Tried these and they came out really good! Family loved them in chicken broth. Also added dill and chopped parsley to broth and they were delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe.
