I have been on a mission to cut my grocery bill as much as I can. With the rising cost of everything it makes more sense to me to make as many things homemade as I can.
The best part of making my own mixes is I can control the ingredients that are in the mixes. Like in this recipe using sodium-free beef bouillon granules in replacement of regular beef bouillon granules will help with watching sodium intake.
This onion soup mix recipe is a good example for both of these reasons. It costs around five dollars for a box of Lipton soup mix at the grocery store. Since I already had the six ingredients it takes to make this soup mix in my pantry. Why not make my own onion soup mix? 5 tablespoons of this homemade seasoning mix will replace one of the store bought little packets.
