Here is my healthy version of onion soup mix.
Wow. I never thought I would be able to use all of those words in one descriptional sentence.
When I was looking to make my own, instead of using the most popular blue boxed version -loaded with hydrogenated this, and MSG that- I looked online to find a homemade recipe. I came across a few good recipes. This is my favorite version of all of those recipes.
I usually at least double this when I make it. It keeps very well in a glass jar in my pantry.
Healthy Onion Soup Mix
Yield: about 1 1/4 cups
3/4 cup dried minced onion
1/3 cup vegan beef seasoning powder (I like McKay's Beef Seasoning, but Bill's Best would probably work well)
4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp organic sugar
1 tsp fine sea salt (optional)
Whisk everything together in a bowl. Store in a small airtight glass spice jar. Stores very well. 5 TB of mix are equal to one 1 1/4 oz package of Lipton Onion Soup Mix.
To make Onion Dip: Mix 5-8 TB mix into 1 pint of sour cream to make the onion soup mix (or to taste).
