It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

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.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
