DIY Onion Soup Mix
I woke up this morning thinking I had scheduled this post with no text in the post, only photos and the recipe. Luckily, I didn’t do that. I sat down to write a post several times this weekend but time and time again, I just got distracted!
Ice Bucket Challenges, workouts, dinner and dominoes with friends, hanging out in the pool, baking cookies all took priority to writing a post. Because, sometimes, you just need to enjoy the weekend, right? However, I am pretty excited to share this recipe: DIY Onion Soup Mix!
I have come to love homemade seasoning mixes like ranch, pumpkin pie, cajun, taco/chili, etc. and I use onion soup mix a lot. But have you looked at the ingredients on those packages? Yikes! And they get expensive! I resolved very quickly to make a homemade version of this savory, salty mix.
So, here it is: amazingly simple, with onion flakes, beef bullion, a couple of seasonings. And, done.

Love this homemade version! Such a great mix to have on hand 🙂
I adore using this to make onion dip. Hate buying the store bought stuff. Definitely putting this on my DIY list!
Happy Monday Cassie!
Umm..you’re a genius!!!!! There is something so wonderful about onion soup mix but I refuse to buy it after reading the ingredients. Pinning!
I use Lipton Onion Sup mix all the time, so this is wonderful! I’m sure it’s so much cheaper, too!
I love this easy to store onion soup mix.
I got distracted this week when writing two posts and it didn’t make sense at all 🙁
Love onion soup! Would love to have this on hand, and it would be great to give as a gift!! Happy Monday Cassie!
This will come in so handy this fall! Thank you!!
this looks so much better than the store bought.
Onion soup mix has been on my to-do list for quite some time…looks like you saved me the trouble though! This looks perfect!
I love this stuff! I can’t wait to make my own! Have you found a good source of beef bullion? Like one without sugar or other additives. I’m on the hunt.

Well, I bought it at the local Dutch Bakery & Bulk store and it had minimal additives and possibly a preservative that I can’t remember off the top of my head, and I do believe there is some sugar in it. But it seemed much better than some I found in the grocery store.
This made my day! I also love onion soup mix, but kind of hate using it. I can’t wait to make my own!
I have to admit, I have always had a soft spot for that onion soup mix…but I’d much rather DIY it!
If I made this up and vacuume seal then freeze, how long could it last?

I couldn’t say, as I’ve never tried to vacuum seal anything. I would guess that you could keep it in there for a month or two with no problem. Let me know how it turns out!
