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.

Very good, light flavor. I loved the toasted almonds in the dish. They added a little texture. The cornish hens were perfectly done after 6 hours on low in my crock.
