Today I made a jar of Onion Soup Mix. I use onion soup mix when I cook my roasts, for dips and gravies.
ONION SOUP MIX
1/3 cup plu 2 tsp. dry minced onion
8 beef bouillon cubes or 8 tsp.
2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. celery salt or crushed celery seed
This will make 18 tablespoons.
It fit perfectly in my empty bouillon cube jar.
5 Tablespoons of this mix = 1 pre-packaged mix
Mix 5 Tablespoons with 4 cups water for soup.
Mix 5 Tablespoons with 16 ounces of sour cream for dip.
Add 5 Tablespoons to your water when cooking a roast.
Add 5 Tablespoons to your beef stew!
TIP The best thing to remove onion odor from your hands is to rub a stainless steel spoon all over them. It works like magic! :D
I never buy onion soup mix anymore. I do something that ends up a lot like this...I toss a little beef base and a little dehydrated onion into whatever I'm cooking that calls for onion soup. I don't measure, I just do it to taste. I hadn't thought of adding the celery seed/salt; I may try using that, too, next time.
ReplyDeleteI have used the stainless steel trick to remove onion odors. They sell a stainless steel "bar" to be used like soap, but I don't see the point when our flatware will do the same thing. :)
Annie I've seen those bars and thought the same thing.
