Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup dehydrated onion flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons beef stock granules, or beef concentrate, or 6 chopped beef bouillon cubes
  • 1/8 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • First, head into your pantry and pull out all the ingredients. If you’re like me, you probably have a special shelf for spices and seasonings. Pull them out and check for freshness. No one wants stale garlic powder in their soup!

Step 2: Measure Carefully

  • Using measuring spoons, carefully portion out each ingredient following the list above. Precision matters here, especially with the spices. Too much of one can overpower the others, throwing off the balance. The garlic powder and onion flakes are particularly strong, so keep that in mind!

Step 3: Mix It Up

  • Once you have everything measured, it’s time to mix! In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients. Stir them together using a whisk or fork until you see a uniform blend. This is where the magic happens, folks!

Step 4: Store in an Airtight Container

  • Now, find a clean, dry, airtight container. Pour your mix into it. A glass jar with a lid works perfectly. Label it with the name and date, and store it in a cool, dry place. Your homemade onion soup dry mix is ready to go!

Step 5: Use as Desired

  • When you’re ready to whip up some soup, simply add a few tablespoons of this mixture to boiling water or broth, adjust to taste, and you’re golden.

Notes

  • Label Your Container: Always label your mix with the date you made it. This keeps things organized.
  • Customize to Taste: Feel free to adjust the spices based on your palate. If you like a little heat, add more red pepper flakes. Enjoy more garlic? Increase the garlic powder!
  • Experiment with Add-Ins: Consider adding dried herbs like thyme or bay leaves for extra aroma.
  • Use Good Quality Bouillon: The flavor of your soup will hinge on the quality of your beef stock granules or bouillon. Look for low-sodium options to better control salt levels.
  • Prep Ahead: Make several batches to store as gifts or to keep on hand for busy weeks. Friends will love a jar of your homemade mix.
