Lipton Onion Soup Mix (Copycat)

I have been using this recipe for years in place of the original. I think it is just as tasty and is certainly less expensive than the real thing.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup dried minced onion
  • 2 Tbsp. instant beef bouillon
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder

Directions

Combine all ingredients. Quantity is the equivalent of 1 package of soup mix.
