DIY Onion Soup Mix
As with the Herbed Seasoned Sea Salt blend, here is another DIY mix that I use throughout the year – Onion Soup Mix. I like to make this blend myself as I can reduce or remove the amount of salt compared to commercial packages, use fresher ingredients, I find it’s tastier than commercial versions and making your own is more economical.
This mix is so quick and easy to make – I don’t even whirl it in a food processor to keep the onion flakes whole and as close to (with less salt!) to a commercial mix. I use it in a bunch of savory dishes – really wherever commercial onion soup is called for, and a pinch here and there to lightly season a dish. And of course, a heaping teaspoon and boiling water makes a great warm savory drink!
It will last in your cupboard for 6 months (write the date you made it on your label) but likely you’ll use it up before then!
As always, when you make this recipe, I would love to see your creation so please post a photo of your DIY Onion Soup Mix goodness and tag my IG account #RenataCollective or leave a comment with your thoughts!
Prep Time: 5 minutes / Makes: About ½ cup
Ingredients
⅓ Cup Dehydrated Minced Onion
3 Tablespoons Veggie Bouillon mix – or commercial veggie bouillon powder (this will increase the salt content)
1½ Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
½ teaspoon Onion Powder
½ teaspoon Paprika
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder – Note: not garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
1/8 teaspoon Ground Sage
A Few Grinds of Fresh Black Pepper
How It’s Made
In a small bowl or right in the glass jar with a tight-fitting lid that you will store your mix in, add all the ingredients and mix until well blended.
Label and date your jar. This mix will keep in the cupboard up to 6 months.
Enjoy!
Note: About 4 tablespoons equal 1 package of commercial onion soup mix. Use more or less to suit your taste.
