I grew up with a dad who hated both the taste and smell of onions so we didn\u2019t eat them very often. In high school, I discovered my love of onions, but the closest we could get to having them at home was dried French onion soup mix. So French onion soup<\/a> it was.<\/p>\n

I made it as a soup to eat plain or used it to season foods or roasted vegetables. Sometimes I\u2019d sneak fresh onions into the house (contraband onions\u2026 lol), but I definitely developed a love for the French onion soup mix during this time.<\/p>\n

Once I went to college, I started adding onions to a lot of my own cooking. And once I had my own home I really started using onions in most of my cooking (along with garlic).<\/p>\n

When we switched to real food, we stopped using most products that came from a box or a can, so I didn\u2019t buy French onion soup mix anymore. However, I missed the flavors and the convenience of the mix.<\/p>\n

French Onion Flavors<\/h2>\n

Like pre-mixed French onion soup, this combines the flavors of onion, garlic, celery, salt, and pepper. You get the same flavor without the cornstarch, soy protein,<\/a> and yeast extract. Plus homemade onion soup mix is naturally gluten-free.<\/p>\n

I like to buy all of my herbs for this recipe and all of my other herb and spice blends<\/u><\/a>\u00a0online in bulk. It saves money and I\u2019m not always running out of a spice that I need. Simply store unused herbs and spices in the freezer or a cool dark place until you\u2019re ready to use them.<\/p>\n

How to Use Dry Onion Soup Mix<\/h3>\n

Onions make almost anything savory taste better. You can add some of this seasoning mix to your favorite soup recipe or just make French onion soup with it. I add 1\/4 cup of the dry onion soup mix to 2 cups of beef broth and add thinly sliced, caramelized onions. The soup also tastes really good with some Gruyere cheese melted on top!<\/p>\n
