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.

30-60 minutes
ingredients
2 pounds fresh lean lamb shoulder, sliced
2 cups water
6 whole cloves
1 teaspoon ground cumin seeds
1 teaspoon dry ginger powder
2 teaspoons ground fennel seeds
3 bay leaves
1 cup thick yogurt
2 tablespoons sour cream
4 cardamom pods, crushed
1 tablespoon ghee
1 medium onion, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
1 pinch saffron
salt, to taste
directions
In a saucepan, bring the lamb, water, cloves, cumin, ginger powder, fennel seeds, bay leaves to a boil on high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook the lamb until it is tender. This should take about 35 minutes. There should be about half a cup of water left when the lamb is finished cooking. If the water dries up while cooking, add another half cup of water to it.
Stir once or twice to ensure that the lamb does not stick to the pan and burn. Add yogurt and sour cream to the lamb and stir well. Raise heat to medium high and boil. Then add cardamom and salt. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate pan, heat the ghee, fry the onions and ginger until golden brown and add to the lamb. Now, add saffron to the lamb, stir cover and cook for 10 minutes. Yakhni improves in flavor if kept overnight and then served.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
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.
