Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

If you're looking for beautifully colored soups, borscht is tough to beet! This version of the classic soup uses canned beets for convenience.

1 can (16 ounce size) beets, liquid reserved
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 container (8 ounce size) sour cream
fresh dill
Blend the first 6 ingredients (including the liquid from the canned beets) in the blender for about 1 minute, or until smooth.
Pour 1 cup of the soup into a large bowl with half the sour cream and blend until smooth. Then add the remaining soup from the blender and stir until thoroughly mixed.
Chill overnight. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and lots of chopped fresh dill.
Yogurt may be substituted for the sour cream.

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.
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.
