Homemade Onion Soup Mix
This homemade onion soup mix is easy to stir together with pantry ingredients and gives you the savory onion flavor you get from the store-bought packets. Use it in dips, casseroles, soups, and more.
Servings: 15 tablespoons
Ingredients
- ½ cup dried onion flakes
- 2 to 4 tablespoons beef bouillon granules
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried chives
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients and store in an airtight container.
- Three tablespoons is equivalent to 1 package of storebought onion soup mix.
Notes
Bouillon: Different brands vary in saltiness, so adjust to taste. Use 2 tablespoons for a lighter, less salty mix or 4 tablespoons if you want a stronger flavor closer to store-bought packets.
Paprika: Regular paprika gives a more classic onion soup flavor. Smoked paprika works too, but it adds a subtle smoky note that can change the flavor slightly.
Sugar: The small amount of sugar helps balance the savory flavors and mimics the subtle sweetness found in store-bought mixes. It doesn’t make the mix taste sweet.
How to use: Use 3 tablespoons of this mix to replace 1 packet of onion soup mix in recipes like dips, roasts, or casseroles.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For best flavor, use within 6 months.
Mix before using: The finer powders tend to settle at the bottom. Give it a quick stir or shake before measuring.
