Store-bought onion soup mix is convenient, but I enjoy making my own at home. Homemade Onion Soup Mix is quick and budget-friendly. Plus, it’s perfect for seasoning dips, meatloaf, pot roast, and soups. This mix can be used as a 1:1 replacement for a single packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix in recipes.
