Homemade Dried Onion Soup Mix Recipe (So Easy and Delicious!) (2024)

This onion soup mix is an easy homemade version of dried Lipton onion soup that tastes even better than the original! It only requires a few simple ingredients and just 5 minutes to make.

Homemade Dry Onion Soup Mix

Dried onion soup is a common ingredient in everything from meatloaf to dips. Unfortunately, the packaged stuff is loaded with sodium, gluten, and MSG.

However, all is not lost! You can make your own dried onion soup to keep on hand so you can control exactly what goes into your food.

🥘 Onion Soup Mix Ingredients

You only need a handful of common ingredients that may already be in your spice cabinet. I do recommend using regular beef bouillon granules instead of low-sodium (unless you are on a sodium restriction).

• Dried Onion Flakes - ¼cupdried onion flakes.
• Beef Bouillon Granules - 2tablespoons of beef bouillon granules.
• Onion Powder - ¼ teaspoon of onion powder.
• Parsley Flakes - ¼teaspoon of dried parsley flakes
• Celery Seed - ⅛teaspoon of celery seed.
