Onion Soup Mix Dip from Scratch
This Onion Soup Mix Dip from Scratch is the bomb. Just like I remember that dip from way back when I was a kid. That stuff was super yummy. But, it used to have beef in it, so this vegetarian gave up eating it.
I don’t know if it still has beef in it or not, but it definitely has some preservatives, and as I learned recently it isn’t available everywhere, so it’s great to be able to mix up your own Homemade Onion Soup Mix.
I’ve used the soup in mix in casseroles before, but never actually in a dip like this. Grab the recipe for the Homemade Onion Soup Mix here. And, here are my casseroles, Italian Apricot Stew or Italian Apricot Chicken. I hadn’t made the dip, that is, until my Super Bowl party.
I figured that it had been years since I had a classic onion dip with those greasy ruffle potato chips, so why not. And, you know what? This was delicious! Perfect for my party spread. Super easy too!

I made a double batch of the onion soup mix to keep additional in the cupboard for another use.
If you make the onion soup mix up before hand, you’ll want to use 1/2 batch, or 5 tablespoons worth of the mix to 1 (16 ounce) container of sour cream.

Onion dip is the BEST! I also love this recipe for homemade onion soup mix. I have several recipes that call for onion soup mix, but I rarely make them because I don’t like using the packaged mix. I’ll definitely be mixing some homemade up and giving it a try!
Michaela Kenkel says
Seriously one of my biggest addictions in life!! I will for sure be making this one!!
Jennifer A Stewart says

Can I leave out the sugar and it would taste as good?
Debi says
Kristie, sugar gives everything a little extra flavor. Just like salt. So, it won’t taste as h=good, but you can leave it out. I haven’t tried it, but you could try a sugar substitute if you want. Let me know how it goes.
