Lipton's onion mushroom soup mix

[Guest guest]

I did a little online research, and discovered a few things.

 

1. You can purchase a vegetarian by Fantastic Foods.

Listed ingredients are: DEHYDRATED VEGETABLES (ORGANIC ONIONS AND GARLIC),

MUSHROOMS, ORGANIC POTATO STARCH, ORGANIC CORN STARCH, SEA SALT, YEAST

EXTRACT, NATURAL FLAVORS, CARAMEL COLOR, ORGANIC EXPELLER PRESSED CANOLA

OIL. More info here:

2. It's very easy to make your own mix, and that way you can have better control

over the

nutrients and ingredients, especially cutting back on the sodium.

 

I found this copy cat recipe for homemade dry onion soup mix. As you can tell

from these

ingredients, you would want to change them some to make it vegetarian. Also, for

the

mushroom component, you would want to add some dried, chopped mushrooms.

Ingredients:

4 teaspoons instant beef bouillon granules

8 teaspoons dried minced onion

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon seasoned pepper

Directions:

Cut a 6-inch square of heavy duty foil. Place all ingredients in center of foil.

Fold foil to

make an airtight package. Label with date and contents. Store in a cool, dry

place. Use

within 6 months.
