DIY Dry Onion Soup Mix: A simple blend of ingredients that tastes just like the store-bought version.
My parents both have a weakness for Onion Chip Dip. I remember growing up there was one version at a local convienence 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. So NOT healthy, but oh so good.
Now, we make our own version at home, using my homemade Dry Onion Soup Mix so we can it without all the added MSG and sodium. So you know, we can eat more chips–HA!
This onion soup mix is also a great thing to add to rice as it cooks, pot roasts, or to flavor meats with before grilling.

It’s funny how folks like me who don’t watch the Superbowl still yearn for that old fashioned dried onion soup dip when game time comes. You’ve got a great idea here, as no matter how much I wanted the dip, I doubt I could bring myself to buy that awful dehydrated pre-mixed stuff.
Laura, I hope you give this a try! My family always ate the dip during those games too and this is a great substitute!
This was always one of my favourite dips, just mix it up. Living in Italy I am always looking for substitutes and thanks to you this is a great one. Love it. thanks
You bet Rosemary! This should help satisfy your craving for home 😉
I use the mix for other things than dip and it always pains me how full of bad stuff it is. Now I can feel better! Thanks for sharing.
You bet!! Happy to help 🙂
I would want to add a little cornstarch, for thickening of sauces and gravies I might make with this dip. Wonder how much cornstarch should be added?
Hey Danelle, sorry it took me a couple days to respond. So if you want to use as a sauce or gravy (not in dips) add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Enjoy!
