Classic Onion Soup Mix

You can prepare soup, make dips and even season meats with this handy mix from June Mullins of Livonia, Missouri. "My grandchildren really enjoy it as a coating on oven-roasted potatoes," she says. "It's an inexpensive substitute for the envelopes you get at the store."

    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!
