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).

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.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

I agree with the other reviews that only 1 cup broth is needed. I cooked as directed on high for 2 hours. Turned out good. If you don't use flavorful broth or wine I could see this being bland but I used a really good rich broth so it didn't need salt or anything.
Haven't tried it yet but plan to do so. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this very much - my Middle Eastern husband complained about the lack of spices even though I had put in oregano and thyme. I didn't see the point of a 5 hour crock pot prep for cooked food, so I sauteed the onions and celery and added a diced carrot for good measure. I heated the broth and wine and just added the rest of the ingredients and presto! It was ready in no time.

I followed Iquicha's advice and only used one cup broth. Very good.

Since all the ingredients are cooked, this doesn't need 2 cups of broth or 8 hours of cooking time. I used one cup broth and cooked it for four hours and it was done. Also added some salt and dried thyme.
