GLUTEN FREE ONION SOUP MIX RECIPE
There are so many amazing recipes out there that call of a package of onion soup mix.
We've all made them before, or have at least tried to before we realized that the onion soup mix you buy at the grocery store is not gluten free.
Packaged mixes often include gluten, soy, and chemical preservatives that we just don't want.
While I have seen gluten free onion soup for cooking in stores, I haven't seen the need to buy them because making my own is so simple.
This gluten free onion soup mix recipe has 8 easy-to-find ingredients and comes together in a matter of minutes.
Store it, and have onion soup mix on hand for use in recipes like gluten free onion dip and gluten free French onion soup.
INGREDIENTS IN GLUTEN FREE ONION SOUP MIX
Dried Onion Flakes - This is our main ingredient - you can't make onion soup without onion. Dried onion flakes have a sweet onion flavor like onions that have been slow roasted.
Beef Bouillon Granules - This gives a substantial, hearty flavor. Always check your labels to be sure the bouillon is gluten free. Not all are.
Onion Powder - More onion is not a bad thing here. The onion powder will distribute into whatever you mix it with, while the flakes will stay in larger pieces.
Parsley Flakes - Dried parsley adds color and flavor to the mix.
Celery Seed - I love the flavor of celery seed in savory things like soups. It's a bright, herbal flavor.
Paprika - Paprika adds warmth and color to the mix.
Black Pepper - Gives the right amount of heat to our onion soup mix.
Cornstarch - Allows whatever you're cooking with this mix to thicken.

WHY SHOULD I MAKE MY OWN SPICE MIXES?
As someone who cannot eat gluten, I learned that many spice blends and flavoring mixes contain gluten.
Making your own mixes allows you to control everything that goes in, so you'll know that it's safe for you and your family to eat, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless.
Speaking of price, making your own spice and soup mixes will save you money too. The markup on pre-mixed spices is can be significant.

This recipe is so helpful. I have a shrimp dip recipe that I love and have struggled with a way to make it since I had been unable to find a gluten free onion soup nix. Made it last night with your recipe and it is perfect. Thank you so much!

The recipe state yields 4 servings. Does this mean this recipe makes the equivalent of 4 packets of store bought or 1 packet?

Hi Pam, This recipe makes about 1 ounce of soup mix, about the same as a packet of the seasoning mix you'd buy.
Rita
Wonderful!!! I substitute chicken bouillon granules, then follow the rest as written. Put chicken in an oven cooking bag, sprinkle soup mix, and grate some butter into the bag, seal the bag, then squish it all up. Marinate a couple of hours, then pop it into the oven. You can also add cut up parboiled red potatoes after marinating, before cooking...let your imagination run wild. Add whatever veggies you like...
Thank you for inspiring me to experiment with this.

Your kind words about our recipe made our day, Rita! Thank you for giving it a try and sharing.
