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.

You can't go wrong with a recipe from Julia Child! The coleslaw was perfect (not that I expected it to be anything but wonderful!)
Superb. Delicate. Nuanced. I never imagined cole slaw could offer sublimity. Follow this recipe slavishly. It is perfect.

Very good. I made enough for 12 for thanksgiving and it was terrific. I didn't have a big enough bowl to mix the ingredients when they're dry and bulky, so i used a two gallon zip lock bag. Made it overnight and just added creamy ingredients before dinner.
