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.

If you haven't delved into the world of infused oils yet, you're in for a treat. Basil or rosemary infused oils aren't really for high-heat cooking, but they make outstanding salad dressing ingredients and drizzles for soup, bread, and fish.

ingredients
1 cup mild olive or vegetable oil
1/4 cup packed chopped fresh rosemary leaves
OR

directions
Combine the oil and herbs in a crock pot. Set the heat to HIGH and cook, uncovered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Turn the crock pot off and let the oil cool for 20 minutes.
When the oil has cooled, strain it through a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter. Transfer it to a covered glass jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. The oil may appear cloudy while chilled

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.
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.
