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
8 medium carrots, chopped in large pieces
1 leek (white part only), sliced and washed well
2 medium potatoes, peeled, chopped in large pieces
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 piece ginger root (1-inch size), sliced thin
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 bay leaves
8 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cream
directions
Warm the olive oil in a soup pot and slowly cook the garlic and ginger until soft. Add the leeks, raise the heat, and cook until the leeks begin to wilt.
Add the carrots, potatoes, bay leaves, chicken stock, salt, pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook slowly until all the vegetables are soft.
Carefully puree the soup in a blender at low speed until very smooth. Return to the pot and add the cream and adjust the salt and pepper.
Place into a storage container and cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about two hours.
Adjust the seasoning and consistency if needed before serving. Serve in chilled soup bowls and garnish with snipped chives.

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.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
