I never buy onion soup mix, but there are times a recipe I want to make calls for it. How wonderful to have this recipe! I always have these ingredients on hand. And it's so much better to be able to control the salt in the recipe myself. I'm not sure why the sugar, but it works, and that's the main thing. Thanks for posting. Made for 1-2-3 Hits Tag.

This is a great recipe. Since DH has to watch the sodium intake, I can't buy dried onion soup mix. Thanks Charlotte :) Made for cookbook tag game

Thanks, Charlotte, for posting this easy and very good substitute for Lipton's chemically enhanced mix. I made Recipe #193331 with this and it worked beautifully!

I was making Recipe #19279 and thought I would try this recipe for the onion soup mix. This was easy to put together and is made with ingredients I normally have on hand. I followed the recipe exactly as written except I used Splenda instead of sugar as that is all I buy. Worked out OK with the above recipe.
