This simple homemade onion soup mix recipe is an easy substitution for the kind you get at the grocery store. Made with six simple ingredients that you most likely have in your pantry. Five tablespoons of this homemade French onion soup mix will replace one envelope of dry onion soup mix. Which can be used in so many different recipes.

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.

If you enjoy this homemade seasoning recipe then you might also enjoy our homemade mild taco seasoning recipe and our homemade pumpkin pie seasoning.

Dry Dip Ingredients

Six simple ingredients are all that is needed to make this delicious recipe. Since you most likely have these ingredients in your pantry. This dry dip mix can quickly be made from scratch whenever a recipe calls for it. No need to run to the store for that one missing ingredient.

This delicious onion mix is made with

  • beef bouillon granules - which brings in a stronger flavor than powdered or cubes would.
  • Dehydrated Onion - it wouldn't be an onion mix without flakes of onion.
  • onion powder- to add a bit more onion flavor
  • garlic powder- because everything is better with garlic powder
  • paprika- add a sweet taste without adding any heat
  • black pepper -is where a little bit of spice is added to this onion soup mix.

How To Make

It's easy to make this homemade seasoning, add all the ingredients into a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine then store in an airtight container in a cool dry place. I like to store my homemade seasonings in a mason jar that is labeled and then store it in our pantry.

Homemade Lipton onion soup mix will last stored for up to 6 months. 5 tablespoons will replace 1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix.

Making your own homemade onion soup mix is a great way to control the amount of sodium in mixes. To cut the sodium in this homemade mix recipe you could use a sodium-free beef bouillon.

A Great Way To Use

This homemade substitute is great to use in your favorite recipes that call for packaged onion soup mix. I have used this homemade mix with sour cream to make my 3 ingredient easy onion dip recipe which is always a delicious crowd-pleaser.

To create a simple soup recipe add 5 tablespoons of the homemade dry onion soup mix into a medium saucepan with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil reduce heat and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Jaz that soup up by adding in some meat and noodles.

There are so many endless possibilities to use this seasoning blend in. Like using it for a slow cooker pot roast recipe, beef stew, or even mixing it into mashed potatoes. Mix it with ground beef to create amazing hamburgers to through on the grill this summer. It brings rich flavor to so many great recipes that your entire family is sure to love.
