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.

Made it as per recipe, put on top of a cake. Very nice, easy. Keep stirring but no need to go too slow (I didn't know about eggs separating before I read the previous comments, went at half power heat all the way, no prob.)

The result is delicious. This takes time though! Because I was heating a mixture with eggs I was afraid of starting too hot, so had the pan at low-medium at first. Believe the recipe when it says "stir constantly" - the eggs really wanted to separate. I gradually increased the heat to med. but this took nearly an hour. Look for a beautifully thickened custard, nearly the consistency of regular icing when it's still hot.
