Why buy the packaged stuff when you can make homemade onion soup mix right in your own kitchen? With just a few simple ingredients, you can make as much soup mix as your heart desires and have it on hand for when your recipes call for it. That isn’t even the best part though. The best part about this dry onion soup mix recipe is what it DOESN’t have. This recipe does not contain all of the unpronounceable words that you find on the back of the store-bought stuff. We try to steer clear of that as much as we can. It just feels so much better knowing what you are putting in front of your family for dinner.
