Onion Soup Mix is one of my pantry staples. I use it in several recipes, the most requested of which is my Sunday Pot Roast Dinner, where I add a few tablespoons of it to a slow cooker filled with a hefty chuck roast, carrots, and potatoes.
At roughly $3 per envelope of the tasty soup mix, I wanted to see if I could create my own version of the tasty Onion Soup Mix to keep stored in my pantry and to help save some grocery money. My recipe for the mixture costs just cents when compared to the envelopes you can buy in-store and my husband claims it tastes better, but he is a bit biased when it comes to his wife's cooking.
This recipe makes roughly what one store bought envelope would provide you. But I like to make several batches at a time to store for future recipes like Onion Soup Casserole, Onion Soup Meatloaf, or to even add a tablespoon or two to a Beef Stew. Onion Soup Mix is so versatile and adds tons of delicious flavor to most beef dishes. It's definitely a great item to have on hand in your pantry and I'm never without a mason jar full of the good stuff.
INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 tablespoons dried chopped onion
4 teaspoons beef bouillon
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
In a mason jar, add dried chopped onion, beef bouillon, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Secure lid and shake well to mix ingredients.
This makes roughly one envelope of the store-bought mix, but it can be made in several batches to fill the jar. Just repeat the steps, shaking the jar to incorporate the seasonings each time.
