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.

Caribou is a very lean and flavorful meat without a gamey flavor. It's quick cooking so don't let the soup boil, just leave it at a low simmer, otherwise the meat may become tough. You can substitute lean beef in this recipe. Tougher cuts of meat or game would need a longer cooking time.

1 pound boneless caribou, diced
oil, for browning meat
1 onion, diced
6 cups seasoned beef broth (do not use low sodium)
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup red wine
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 small potatoes, quartered
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 ribs celery, chopped
black pepper, to taste
Brown the meat in oil in large skillet. Remove the meat from the skillet with a slotted spoon (leave oil in pan). Add browned meat to Dutch oven or large soup pot.
Add the onion and celery to the skillet and saute until just starting to soften. Add to the Dutch oven.
Add remaining ingredients to Dutch oven. Bring just to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 30-45 minutes or until meat is tender and vegetables are cooked.

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).
