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.
If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.

I lived in St Charles, Mo. Loved their clam chowder. This is the only recipe I use. Have found that Campbell's soup works the best

You can also add 1 diced baking potato to this soup. Just make it even better and thicker.

Crazy that a restaurant would use canned clam chowder as a base for this recipe but I will say this soup is very very good.

I used to go to Noah's Ark Restaurant in St. Charles and I have searched for this recipe since somehow losing mine (although I had it memorized, turned out, I wrote it down before searching from memory). Anyway, YOURS IS THE REAL ONE. I have encountered many that are just not quite right, including some with cream of celery, but yours is the "official" version. Thank you!
