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 bouillabaisse is made with an assortment of seafood in a broth of clam juice, white wine, and tomatoes. A complicated dish demystified with a crockpot!

1 large onion, chopped
3 stalks celery & leaves, chop
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cups clam juice
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
3 large tomatoes, diced
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 pinch saffron
1 dash hot pepper sauce
3 pounds mixed fish (halibut, etc.)
1 pound lobster tails (optional)
1 pound crabmeat (optional)
1 pound shrimp, shelled, deveined
24 clams, mussels or scallops
Put all ingredients, except seafood, in crockpot.
Cover and cook on High for 2 to 4 hours.
Add seafood. Cover and cook on High for 1 to 3 hours.
Serve in heated large bowls garnished with fresh parsley with crusty bread on the side.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
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.
