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.

This is one loaded soup with matzo balls and vegetables. Simmering the veggies until tender infuses all of their flavor into the broth and makes this an ultimate comfort bowl.

1 package Matzo ball mix
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
3 medium leeks, white parts chopped, green parts discarded
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 medium white turnips, peeled and diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
3 medium stalks celery, diced
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
8 cups vegetable stock
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups frozen peas
Prepare the matzo balls as directed on the package.
Add the oil to a large saucepan and place over medium heat. Add the onion and leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
Add the potatoes, turnips, carrots, celery, mushrooms, stock, paprika, and cumin. Mix well then turn the heat to medium high. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pan and let cook at a low simmer for 45 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
Add salt and pepper to taste and let the soup simmer 10 more minutes. Stir in the peas then remove the pan from the heat. Add the matzo balls and serve.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
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).
