This works very well as a substitute for packaged onion soup mix. I keep a jar of it on hand in my pantry.

It's not hard to make this a vegetarian dish. Simply substitute vegetarian bouillon for the beef.

Not really a vegetarian dish, if it contains beef bouillon. TOH, be more careful with your listings!
