How to Make Homemade Onion Soup Mix

Today, we’re sharing how to make your own homemade dry mix for onion soup.

Not only is it cheaper than store-bought options, but making it at home allows us to control the ingredients and create a delicious blend.

Let’s get started!

To kick off our homemade onion soup mix recipe, gather these ingredients:

• 1/2 cup beef bouillon (we recommend Orrington Farms brand broth base)

Instructions

Let’s begin by combining all the ingredients together. Start with half a cup of beef bouillon, but you can adjust accordingly based on personal preference.

Next up is one full cup of minced onions (dried). Feel free to heap them slightly for added flavor.

Add in half a tablespoon of pepper followed by one tablespoon of dried parsley. If your parsley isn’t already crushed, give it a quick mix with your hands before adding it to the mixture.

Store-bought dried parsley should already be crushed for you.

Lastly, add one tablespoon of salt and give everything a good mix. Use a fork to break up any clumps of beef broth or salt that may have formed.

Storing Your Homemade Onion Soup Mix

Now that our onion soup mix is ready, let’s transfer it into a pint jar. Using a canning funnel will make this process easier and less messy.

Store on your pantry shelf, out of direct sunlight, for up to a year!
