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.

We received this as a gift, and made it, adding cooked bite sized chicken thighs. Might add corn next time! Is a bit spicy! The potato flakes thicken it almost instantly!

I received this as a Christmas present and made it exactly as indicated. it is surprisingly good. a bit peppery so be careful if you're not into spicy food. I am so sprinkled w/ red pepper flakes. YUM!
