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).

ingredients
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cans (15 ounce size) baked beans
1 bay leaf
4 cups water
black pepper
Tabasco or other hot sauce
1 plum tomato, diced
2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
directions
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the onion, celery, and carrot to the saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir the tomato paste into the vegetables. Add the baked beans, bay leaf, and water. Stir gently to mix.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook for 20 minutes. Season to taste with black pepper and hot sauce.
Turn off the heat and let the soup cool slightly. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
Divide the soup between individual serving bowls. Garnish with diced tomato and bacon crumbles. Serve immediately.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
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.
