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.

Hello, For me, this rice pudding is the best ever. I have been looking for a long long time for a creamy rice pudding and with this one I just hit the jackpot. The only thing I did, I omitted the orange liqueur. Thank you very much.
