Thank you, thank you, thank you for this recipe. I've loved French Onion Soup Mix as a meal-base or dip-base forever, but couldn't think of an alternative gluten-free alternative. You are clever!

Another wonderful replacement for a store bought mix. We use this all the time. Made for Aus/NZ swap.

This recipe saved the day. I wanted to make recipe #299756 but I had no onion soup mix. I was lucky to find this and loved it. It was so easy to make and I even like the flavor better than the packaged stuff. I am sure it is much healthier too. Thanks for sharing **Jubes**!

Made this as a trial run & was extremely pleased with the results, so went back & tripled the batch, just so I'd have a bit around for next time! When I first saw this recipe, the one nice thing I thought about it was that, if it turned out too salty, I could easily make adjustments another time, but, as given here, it's just great for my needs! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed for one of my groupmates in the AUs/NZ Recipe Swap #39]

I was making Recipe #84889 and used this recipe for the onion soup. This was easy to make and no one noticed any difference in taste. Will be using this more often.
