Are packets of onion soup mix a staple in many of your family’s favorite recipes, but you want a healthier option? If you are concerned about the unhealthy ingredients in the commercial versions of onion soup mix packets, check out our recipe for Homemade Onion Soup Mix.
How to Use Onion Soup Mix
Our family sticks to the basics for many of our meals, like meatloaf and casseroles. And for us, a Christmas holiday season just isn’t a holiday without chips and dip made with sour cream and Lipton Onion Soup mix.
Last year we switched to eating a whole foods diet with our Healthy, Realistic Family Eating plan. Onion soup mix packets are definitely not on the list.
Through trial and error, and trying a number of recipes we found on Pinterest, we discovered this simple way of making our own Homemade Onion Soup Mix Recipe.
This tastes great in recipes. The only place we notice the difference is in chip dip. It doesn’t taste anywhere close to the same, but we found that adding some chicken bouillon gave it a really rich flavor. I found an all-natural chicken broth seasoning that works well.
To make a healthier chip or vegetable dip, mix 1/2 cup of this mixture with one large 16 ounce container of plain, non-fat Greek yogurt.
I love using this homemade onion soup mix in my Ground Beef Mixture 6 Ways recipe. Be sure to check it out for meatloaf, meatballs, Salisbury steaks and more that your family will love.
