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.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
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.

reviews & comments
I followed the directions to roast the caulifornia at 425 degrees and this burned the cauliflower, which was then unusable. Quite annoying... I would roast the cauliflower at no more than 350 degrees. Son't have any comment about how the soup turned out because I was unable to finish it.
Directions says "30 minutes or until golden" so your cooking time may vary.
