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.

The apple cider not only adds flavor but helps tenderize the pork while it cooks.

I thought this was extremely delicious, I would have liked it a bit thicker, I like to serve stew on a bed of white rice. I'll definitely be making this again, though next time I think I'll try using a roux as the thickening agent instead of flour-water.

Great recipe. I cooked it on high for 5 and a half hours. The recipe instructions didn't state to mix it up, but we did. It was pretty easy to make, but lots of cutting. I might try using baby carrots next time. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!
