    You would not believe how creamy pumpkin soup is if you add cannelloni beans before you puree it. I threw them in once to try to get some extra fibre. Turns out it's creamier than if you add cream.

    I wonder if this would work with tomato soup?

    I don't think my substitutions are weird....but I do frequently substitute foods because I'm trying to finish some ingredient.

    Like, I'll use leftover cous cous in place of rice for fried rice or some sort of paella-type dish. Or when craving a stuffed bell pepper I ended up using chorizo (the saucy kind), an Italian sausage and string cheese.

    That didn't work out as well. Don't get me wrong, I ate it, but not my best substitute.

    In place of unsweetened or bittersweet I like to use Ghiradelli's hazelnut chocolate cocoa sometimes. There's this flourless chocolate cake I make... it's delicious.

    I got halfway through making a chicken pot pie and realised that the can of chicken soup I planned to use was actually creamed corn. I used it anways, and it was great!
