Description

This homemade Onion Soup Mix is a pantry staple that transforms into a comforting bowl of soup in minutes. By combining dehydrated onion flakes with savory Parmesan cheese and a touch of cornstarch for body, you create a deeply flavorful base without the artificial additives found in commercial packets. The result is a rich, aromatic broth with a velvety texture, perfect for chilly evenings or as a side to hearty main courses. It is incredibly versatile, serving as a quick appetizer, a soup base for potlucks, or a seasoning blend for other dishes. With ingredients you likely already have on hand, this recipe ensures you always have a delicious, home-style meal ready to go.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine 6 tablespoons of onion flakes, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch in a small bowl or blender.
  2. Blend or stir the ingredients together until thoroughly mixed and uniform in texture.
  3. To serve, pour 1-1/2 cups of boiling water into a mug or bowl.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the onion soup mix immediately.
  5. Let stand for 1-2 minutes to allow the flakes to rehydrate and the soup to thicken slightly before eating.

Note

Store the dry mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to 2 months.

For a heartier soup, you can add 2 tablespoons of beef bouillon, 1 tablespoon of soybean flour, 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable protein, or 2 tablespoons of instant mashed potatoes to the dry mix before blending.

If you prefer a vegan option, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute it with nutritional yeast. You can also use dried minced onion instead of flakes if preferred.
