How to Make Onion Soup Mix and Dip

It’s great to know how to make your own onion soap mix and dip recipes, not only so you know exactly what is in the food you are eating and giving to your family, but you can make a bunch and keep it in a mason jar in your cupboard and have it on hand whenever you need it.

It’s also wonderful because it has wonderful ingredients; no msg, preservatives, artificial coloring, or any other junk.

Homemade Onion Soup Mix from Simple Life Mom

The turmeric added to the mix gives your food a beautiful color, but more importantly, turmeric is extremely good for you. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory, and some studies have shown that it can reduce the impact of carcinogens from grilling or smoking meats by up to 40% and may reduce the chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease. (1)

Overall, turmeric is adds a great punch to a homemade onion soup mix and dip recipes!

I also use it in a lot more things than just dip, too.

Onion soup mix is great in:

  • creamy soups
  • dips
  • seasoning meat
  • seasoning potatoes
  • seasoning rice
  • crockpot cooking with things like pot roast and veggies or chicken and veggies
  • beef stroganoff
  • and more…let us know what you use it for!

You can use this in soups, meat and rice dishes, and of course veggie and chip dip!

    I used to make a lot of mixes like this, but I found that it stuff added to stuff I needed to find a space for. I usually just make stuff like this on the fly unless I know I have a recipe coming up in the meal plan that will need something. Thanks for sharing with Let’s Get Real (I’m co-hosting this week)!

      LOL! That’s what mason jars are for! 🙂 They save me a ton of time and help my older kids to be able to cook without too much help from me sometimes.

    I’ve given up Onion Soup Mix packets since they’re full of all kind of other “stuff,” so I’m thrilled to find your recipe today. I pinned it for later. 🙂 Thanks! amanda

      I totally agree. And when you make your own, you can add extra healthy herbs you may not get in a packet.

    I use a commercial onion soup mix when I make french onion soup. I end up feeling guilty every time because I haven’t found a recipe to make my own. No more procrastinating. This is perfect. Thank you!

    BTW, I found your blog over at the Let’s Get Real hop. Have a great day!

    Great idea and a healthy alternative to the boxed mix that is filled with so many additives, preservatives, and toxins. Will share on pinterest. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Friday Blog Hop.

      Sure, if you want to make your own just chop them and spread them out on wax paper on cookie sheet and heat at 170, checking periodically to see when they are dry. It should take a few hours, but you can make a ton at once. Store in an air tight jar or bag.

    It is great mixed into meat for hamburgers and for meatloaf. I added dried porcini mushroom powder to mine.
