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.

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.
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!

I found this recipe many years ago & just rediscovered it recently when a friend asked if I had a chicken tortilla soup recipe. I love this recipe because itâs quick to make with simple ingredients that I typically have on hand. I have served it to various people over the years and everyone has liked it. I donât make it often, but itâs a nice change when I need something quick. Thank you for the recipe.

Additions to this recipe that I use are zucchini (fresh), black beans (1 can), and corn (frozen 1-2 cups) and I serve it with sour cream, avacados, and corn chips ... it is delicious and great warmed up for later.

I double the italian tomatoes, and ususally omit the flour/water mixture, and use lowfat sour cream instead of nonfat. Garnish with extra sour cream,green onions, cilantro..and shredded cheese and avocado if you like. I always make extra tortilla strips for leftovers, they keep for a few days sealed in bags.

This soup is very easy to make and delicious. I add two cans of Italian stewed tomatoes and increase the chicken broth to taste. Sliced zucchini and black beans are a nice addition too.
