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.

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

I used ground cumin instead of messing with grinding the cumin seeds (even though I'm sure that would impart more flavor). I also used pre-julienned carrots instead of sliced so I had to guess at the amount but it worked well. I think the carrots cut that way cooked faster too. I also don't like white pepper so I used regular black pepper but that I DID freshly grind (it's best that way!). Served it hot but I think it would be really good cold with some cream stirred in.

This seemed too simple, with so few ingredients, but it was delicious. I added some semi-skimmed milk as some of the liquid, to make it creamier and sprinkled some flaked almonds on to serve, which added a nice crunchy texture.
I too agree that this is an excellent and EASY soup to prepare. I used chicken stock as I did not have any veggie.... found it to affect the taste midly. I used cumin powder as I did not have any seeds. Recommend this recipe!! RRR

This is terrific and EASY! I used Chicken Broth instead of veggie (just had it on hand) and added a little bit of whipping cream after pureed. It was yummy! it can be topped with pecans or a dollop of sour cream or herbs for presentation. It was a hit and helped me win a wine pairing contest! Good w/Sav Blanc.
