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.

I cut the recipe in half and it turned out perfect. Love how simple it was and it's a good, filling soup. Flavor was very good and my whole family liked it.
