Homemade French Onion Soup Mix

onion soup mix 006

Hello again, savvy savers! For today’s recipe post, I wanted to share with you my recipe for Homemade French Onion Soup Mix! Everything in this mix can be purchased at the Dollar Tree, and can be made for only $0.05 a packet! I generally make several batches at a time, and place them in snack-sized baggies, in my pantry, which will last up to one year on the shelf! I love that my homemade version is at a 95% savings off Lipton brand!

Please note, each batch equals one packet, which is enough for one roast, but two packets would be needed for enough soup to feed four!

Here’s how I make it:

Ingredients:

4 teaspoons beef bouillon granules, or 4 cubes
8 teaspoons dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

1) Mix all ingredients, and store in a baggie.

2) Ingredients can be stored in a pantry up to a year.

3) Enjoy!

    I love onion soup mix for dip, and it certainly never hurts to have some around! Thanks so much for sharing on The Yuck Stops Here this week! Hope to see you back next week, we’ll be starting the party on Tuesday evening at 6pm ET instead of Monday from now on! HUGS

    This is one of those things that I know I should be making myself, but never do. I have used onion soup mix in yogurt, sour cream, roast, pork chops, chicken, burgers, and of course soup. I don’t use it a lot because of the cost, so its a special treat type thing. I think I’m going to have to make this for sure, then we can use it more often! Thank you, pinned! Stopping by from the YUCK party hop!

    Yum. I love french onion soup. This would be great when in a rush or you don’t have onions on hand. It would also make a great chip dip just add some to sour cream or greek yogurt.

      Or perhaps in lieu of the store bought variety that contains four times the amount of sodium that is allowed per day! Thanks for stopping by!
