Making your own Homemade Dry Onion Soup Mix Recipe is simple. You probably already have the ingredients in your spice pantry. You can now replace an Onion Soup Mix Packet in a recipe! This is a copycat recipe of Lipton’s version. 

Perfect for French onion dip, potatoes, chicken, and meatloaf! I think everyone should have this staple in their home. You probably have most of the ingredients right in your spice cabinet. Don’t you hate it when you find a recipe you want to try, but you’re missing one of the ingredients?

Homemade anything is much healthier for you. This mix does not contain MSG and tastes better, too.

Growing up, I remember my mom always having a box of Lipton dry onion soup mix in the pantry. You could call it a childhood classic, or a home-style favorite. A lot like this Southwest Bacon Mac & Cheese.
