Onion soup mix. Its like a party staple because, let's be honest, who actually makes soup with it? But add it to sour cream and mayo and bust out the potato chips and everyone goes wild! Well, I know I do... mmm onion dip.
Anyway, in the theme of making classic seasoning mixes sans all the preservatives and additives. Not to mention saving on all that packaging, and saving money! I would like to note that normally I would make this recipe with some kind of bullion, but I didn't for two reasons. 1) I couldn't find the organic natural veggie bullion I like at the store (just found the paste kind and that wouldn't work). 2) I liked the idea of trying to duplicate a "soupy" flavor just using spices and seasonings. I wanted to use veggie bullion so this recipe would be vegetarian friendly, but you can totally sub in a brand of beef bullion that you like for something more like the stuff from the packet!
Alright here are the ingredients:
2/3 cup chopped dehydrated onion
1/3 cup granulated bullion
(in this case I used a mixture of cumin, curry powder, chicken seasoning blend, garlic salt, pepper,
parsley, and a dash of dill adding up to about a 1/3 of a cup)
4 tsp onion powder
1/4 cup crushed celery seed
That was easy! If you used the regular bullion you CAN use this to make soup if you want 5 tbsp equals about one of those little packets.
Now, if you want to make dip here we go: Mix together one 16oz container sour cream,
About 1/3 cup mayo
Let it sit in the fridge for a little while before serving with some kind of awesome potato chips! I like cape cod original chips, they are AWESOME. I actually got to go to their factory and do the little tour on my honeymoon. They have some really cool flavors in their gift shop!
Alright friends, enjoy the dip (or soup, hehe) and happy eating!
