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.
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).

I've made this split pea soup twice now, once as written and once with the ham hocks that were recommended by the other review. Both ways are excellent! I also usually cook and crumble some bacon on top when serving.

Makes a delicious pea soup. Also excellent if you leave out the Kielbasa and cook it with ham hocks. After the hocks are tender, remove them, throw away the bones and fat, chop the ham and add it back to the soup.
