This homemade French Onion Chip Dip is the BEST chip dip ever! This sour cream chip dip is flavored perfectly with dried herbs for a dip that is minutes!
Every party or football game needs chips and dip--it seems to be some unspoken law. And this easy sour cream chip dip made with dried onion soup mix is simple perfection that everyone devours!
French Onion Chip Dip
My parents both have a weakness for French Onion Chip Dip.
I remember growing up there was one version at a local convenience store they always bought. It was a part of every football game I watched growing up and there was always chips to go with it.
It was loaded with preservatives, MSG, and sodium--but man, we all loved it.
Now, we make our own version of French Onion Dip, using my homemade Dry Onion Soup Mix, so we can still indulge in homemade chip dip--just without as much guilt.
Not only is this recipe for chip dip incredibly easy, it really is the best dip for plain potato chips.
How To Make Chip Dip
- Mix ¼ cup dry onion soup mix with 1 cup all natural sour cream.
- Be sure to use a sour cream that has just cultured cream as the ingredient for best results.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 1 hour for chip dip flavors to come together.
- Serve with chips, crackers, or vegetables.
How To Make Low Fat Chip Dip
Do not be tempted to use fat free sour cream for this chip dip, as the flavor will just not be as good. Plus fat free sour cream has tons of added stabilizers and ingredients.
However, for a lower fat chip dip, use ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, ½ cup sour cream plus ¼ cup dried onion soup mix.

I have made this in the past. I would not recommend to serve this immediately as the soup mix has dehydrated onions in it. Let it meld in the fridge for an hour or two for the hard dehydrated onions to absorb some moisture from the sour cream.

What would be rhe shelf life of this dip? If frozen, refrigerated?
Kristen Chidsey
I would keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and you can freeze for 3 months, but keep in mind the consistency is not the same when defrosted, so I would not recommend that.

So glad I ran out of the packaged stuff and had to find a recipe. This is so much better! I did use two cups of sour cream though (instead of one) and there was plenty of flavor. Thank you!
