Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 2/3 cup dried, minced onion
3 teaspoons parsley flakes
2 teaspoons onion powder (make your own by whizzing up dried onion flakes in the food processor or coffee grinder)
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon celery salt (you want celery salt that is mostly salt with just a bit of celery seed- not pure celery seed ground up, or your soup mix will be bitter and not have enough saltiness to it)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sucanat or sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Directions:1. Mix it all up. Shake it very well, because the heavy spices will settle to the bottom.
That's it!
4 tablespoons of this onion soup mix equals 1 packet of onion soup mix.
I found it needed a bit more salt, but I tend to like things salty, so start off with this amount and then adjust to taste. |

Notes: Fortunately, I recently discovered a recipe for homemade onion soup mix, using only ingredients I already had in the house! It's terrific for days like today when I feel really terrible. (I had gluten 2 times this past week- in small amounts, but I think it was enough to weaken my immune system and allow me to get sick- this is the first time I've gotten sick since going gluten free, even when everyone else in my family has been sick.)
This soup mix makes a good instant soup, and works well as a seasoning for recipes that call for onion soup.
I'll be honest- it doesn't taste exactly like the boxed mixes, but its close enough, and still good.
I got this from Heavenly Homemaker, an awesome site, by the way, for frugal, healthy recipes. (Only she uses gluten... so most of her recipes don't work for me. Oh well...)
