Notes

  • This is a flexible seasoning blend. If you like a stronger onion flavor, add an extra teaspoon of dried onion flakes.
  • Parsley is optional but adds a nice balance to the savory flavors.
  • This mix is naturally gluten free when made with pure spices.
 

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.
  • Keep away from heat and moisture for best flavor.
  • This blend does not need refrigeration.
 

How to Use

This recipe replaces 1 standard packet of onion soup mix or French onion soup mix. Use the full batch anywhere a recipe calls for one packet.
If onion soup is needed first, whisk the mix into 2 cups beef broth or water with bouillon and heat for 3 to 5 minutes until the onion flakes soften.
 

Scaling the Recipe

This mix scales easily. Double or triple all ingredients using the same ratios. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Use 3 1/2 tablespoons of the mix to replace one standard packet of onion soup mix or French onion soup mix in recipes.
