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.

ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
6 black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon anise seed

1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 slice white bread, torn into pieces
1 1/2 ounce Mexican chocolate, grated

directions
Place butter, onion and garlic in a 3 quart microwave safe casserole dish. Cover and microwave on low for 2 to 3 minutes, or until butter is melted and onion is starting to soften.
Mix in the bay leaf, peppercorns, cloves, tomato sauce, chicken broth, anise seeds, cinnamon, sugar, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, almonds and bread. Cover and microwave on high for 10 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes.
Stir in chocolate until it is melted, then add chicken pieces, coating each piece with mole sauce.
Cover and microwave on high for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear (meat will be starting to fall away from the bone).
cook's notes
While cooking chicken, rearrange pieces after 10 and 20 minutes to ensure even cooking.

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.
