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.

This was very good and so simple to prepare. Enjoyed the addition of the cashews.

I thought this recipe had plenty of flavor. It might depend on the ingredients used for example I used fresh squeezed orange juice which has more flavor than the stuff from concentrate.
Did not have much flavor. Needed some further seasoning.
