Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Absolutely amazing & healthy. How I made it (using a slow cooker) Omitted milk, salt and pepper, parsley, sausage (although I'm positive smoked or spicy meat would make this absolutely to die for). I added more cinnamo than nutmeg. Cooked in slow cooker on low for 1.5 hours and then on high for another 0.5 hours. Did not puree in the end - the onion chunks mail it more appealing than just a smooth soup! Absolutely delicious however and very simple.
