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.

ingredients
1/2 pound salt codfish
4 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 small onion
1 bunch parsley stems
1 stalk celery, cut up
bay leaf
1 small sprig thyme
2 tomatoes
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 medium potato, peeled and cut into slices
1 cup water
black pepper
salt
4 pieces toasted or fried bread
directions
Take salt codfish that has been soaked and cut it up into squares, but not too small.
Prepare in a saucepan 4 tablespoons of olive-oil and one small onion. Cook the onion in the oil over a slow fire, without allowing the onion to become colored, then add parsley stems, celery, bay leaf, and thyme.
Cool for a few moments, then add tomatoes, skinned and with the seeds removed, and cut into slices. Next, add dry white wine and potato. Finally, add the water.
When the potato is half cooked, add the codfish, then remaining olive-oil. Remove the parsley stems, and put in instead 1/2 tablespoon of chopped-up parsley. Add a good pinch of pepper and some salt, if needed.
When the vegetables are thoroughly cooked, pour the soup over pieces of toasted or fried bread, and serve.

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.
