Ingredients

For the Soup Mix

  • 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon beef bouillon powder (or beef base powder)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Combine the Spices

  • Add all ingredients to a small bowl or spice jar.

Mix Thoroughly

  • Whisk or shake until evenly blended with no clumps of bouillon powder.

Store or Use

  • Transfer to an airtight jar, or use the entire batch immediately in place of one store-bought packet.

Notes

  • Makes the equivalent of one 1-ounce packet of French onion soup mix (about 4 tablespoons total).
  • Store airtight in a cool, dry pantry for up to 6 months.
  • Check your bouillon powder's label if you need this gluten free; brands vary on whether they contain wheat.
  • Use anywhere a recipe calls for 1 packet of French onion soup mix: meatloaf, burgers, meatballs, dip, or the real soup.
