Good morning, O. At your command as I just happen to have a box here.

Keep in mind, your recipe is probably not the same however:

It's a dry mix that contains dehydrated onions (1st ingredient listed)
and many other things.

One packet contains 4 Tablespoons and weighs 1 ounce.

HTH :-D

No. It's a list of many things that people frown on here.
The 2nd and 3rd ingredients are cornstarch and salt.
It goes bad from there.

I'm always amazed at how the food companies come up with all
these weird chemical ingredients for a simple food.

Here's one ingredient on the list that I wonder about:
"Spice Extractives" WTH?

2 1/2 tblspns dried minced onion
4 cubes bouillon crumbled
1 tspn onion powder
1/8 tspn salt

Probably close enough although the box also includes msg which would
definitely change/enhance the taste. You can probably eliminate the salt
at the end...the bouillon cubes will have plenty of that.

Good luck with your recipe. Tell us what you made and how it turned
out.

BTW, that mix added to sour cream makes a decent potato chip dip.

People also add a packet to meatloaf and beef stew, etc. It's not bad,
imo.

Don't bother with the extra salt, because that powder will be salty
enough.

I have a dehydrator and so I dry my own onions. If you just use the dried
onions, to share the seasonings you mentioned?

I understand why people won't want to use the packet, but
anyone not even calling themselves a cook can make their
own.

It's been a while since I've made it, but I seen to
remember celery seed as an ingredient.

Many "cooks" here use spice mixes. I see no difference.
If the company gets the taste right, why try to reinvent it?

Sure you can do it all yourself, if you've got nothing better
to do with your time.

That would be an interesting component and quite a distinctive flavor.
Not sure how I'd like it.

Good morning, O. At your command as I just happen to have a box here.

Keep in mind, your recipe is probably not the same however:

It's a dry mix that contains dehydrated onions (1st ingredient listed)
and many other things.

One packet contains 4 Tablespoons and weighs 1 ounce.

HTH :-D

Thanks very much! That is VERY helpful)

I'm pretty sure dry onion soup mix is sold at Tesco in the UK. Oh, look:

http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/tesco...p_Mix_32g.html

How to make the equivalent is pretty much easy to calculate if you're
using already salty beef boullion and dehydrated onions.

Thank you, William I doubt they would drop one in the mail to Scotland)

I don't know if I can get them here because I've never looked. It is not
something I would buy because I prefer to make things myself

There are a few recipes on the net and I am happy enough to use the one i
mentioned.

================

Do you mean ready made? No, I don't want ready made stuff. I like to make
my own I found a few recipes and settled on one. The recipe is fine, I
just don't know how much of it to use, when the recipes says, 'one pack of
onion soup' ... what is the equivalent weight?

Looks like a package is 2 ounces by weight. Let's see: 28.3 * 2 = 56.6
grams.

The box weighs 2 ounces. Box contains two packages. Each package weighs
1 ounce and contains 4 tablespoons of dry mix.
