onion dip recipe tips

This one’s a breeze to make but we do have a couple of important tips that will result in the best French onion soup dip EVER.

• Make sure the cream cheese is soft so it blends without lumps. Like many recipes that use cream cheese, you can allow the cream cheese to sit out for a while until it’s at room temperature. This makes it easier to mix with the other ingredients and prevents lumps that typically form with cold cream cheese.
• While you can easily use a packet of store-bought French onion soup mix, our homemade version is simple and much lower in sodium. If you use a store-bought packet, it will add about 600mg of additional sodium to the nutrition information.

What do you plan to serve this tasty dip with? Salty potato chips and crisp veggies are the perfect little vessels to load up with this creamy onion dip. Plus, they add a special crunch that is hard to resist.

The most difficult thing about this onion soup recipe is that you will not be able to walk away from it. ? Enjoy!
