LOWER-SALT DRIED ONION SOUP MIX



Lower-Salt Dried Onion Soup Mix image

I have been looking for and devising a lower-salt dried onion soup mix recipe for years now. I think the flavor of this is very good, without being quite as salty as the brand-name ones out there. Beef bouillon gives a deeper, heartier flavor, while the chicken is lighter and a little more onion-ey. This works really well in those slow-cooker recipes that call for dried onion soup mix.

3/4 cup dried onion flakes
1/3 cup sodium-free beef bouillon granules
4 teaspoons onion powder

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Onions: Yellow onions are the most commonly used onions for onion soup mix, but white or red onions can also be used.
