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.

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).
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.

This is really not too difficult and extremely delicious! I ended up taking the "pulp" and pureeing with my hand-blender...once is was pureed, I returned it into the soup and continued to hand-blend it (just to be sure it would still be smooth and creamy). It made the soup 10x better!
