Homemade Onion Soup Mix

This homemade onion soup mix is the perfect replacement for store-bought packaged mix. Store your mix in an airtight container for several months. 

A few weeks ago, I shared my recipe for slow cooker pot roast.  Outside of the beef, the main ingredient is dry onion soup mix.

I used to buy the onion soup mix you can get at the grocery store – you know which one I’m talking about.  The square packet in the soup aisle.  And then I looked at the ingredient list and kind of freaked out a little bit.

I need to stop looking at ingredient lists or I’m never going to be able to go into a grocery store again.

Chemical after chemical, or at least a bunch of scientific names I couldn’t possibly know the meaning of.  Not really my cup of tea right now.  Or in this case, my cup of soup.

So I got to researching and reading.  And re-reading the back of that onion soup mix.  Because there are a few basic ingredients in onion soup mix and they are onion flakes and onion powder.  Makes sense…

I didn’t want to use any beef bouillon, which you will see in several other homemade onion soup mix recipes.  There were a few reasons behind that.

Mainly, I don’t think of beef when I think of onion soup. Also, vegetarians and vegans can use this mix too when it is excluded.  This is also gluten-free (unlike the store-bought stuff.)

I came up with this recipe instead.  Its perfectly onion-y pungent and is really good with my pot roast.

Store your soup mix in a sealable container for up to 2 months.  Make sure you give it a good shake before you measure because the smaller spice parts sink to the bottom.  If you are using this recipe to replace a store-bought package, you will need 5 tablespoons of it.

Once you have mixed up your soup mix, you can use it to make soup, slow cooker pot roast or onion dip.
