THE BEST GLUTEN FREE ONION SOUP MIX
Everyone should keep gluten free onion soup mix on hand — it’s so versatile! You.
may be able to buy something similar at the store, but it’s not always safely.
GF
It’s quick, easy, and super cheap to make your own, and of course you can.
customize it to your particular tastes. Plus, you don’t have to worry about.
preservatives and other added ingredients you may not like.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS
Onion powder – You can’t have onion soup without the onions! Onion powder has.
the most concentrated onion flavor, so we begin with this.
Minced dried onion – This makes up the most bulk in our homemade onion soup.
mix, much like it does in the packaged kind. It’s an ideal way to add plenty.
of onion flavor and keep the mixture shelf stable.
Garlic powder – The original mix doesn’t actually have garlic, but a touch of.
this flavorful dried ingredient really adds so much, especially considering.
that you’re used to tasting garlic when you taste onion.
Beef bouillon – This provides a really delicious umami flavor that adds some.
complexity to the mix. HerbOx brand beef bouillon is gluten free. It comes in.
a box of little 4 gram packets, and is pretty readily available.
Salt – Just a bit for that savory flavor. We don’t want to add too much,.
though, to allow you to add more salt to taste for your gluten free spinach.
bouillon powder also has some salt.
Cornstarch – This helps thicken up the mix whether you’re making soup or.
using it as flavoring for a dip, and keeps the other ingredients from.
Sugar – This might seem like an unexpected ingredient, but it brings out the.
flavor of onion and balances the flavors similarly to salt.
HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE ONION SOUP MIX

Transfer the mixture to a small bowl placing it on a piece of parchment paper that you fold in half and tip into.
Cover and store in a cool, dry location.
USE FRESH INGREDIENTS
I know that’s a funny thing to say considering that we’re using powdered.
ingredients, but the point is that gluten free onion soup mix isn’t really the.
best solution for using up that onion powder that’s been stuck at the back of.
the cabinet for months.
As the flavor of onion powder diminishes the longer it sits, try to use a brand.
new, fresh container when making soup mix.
STORE YOUR SOUP MIX IN INDIVIDUAL CONTAINERS
My gluten free onion soup mix recipe produces roughly the same amount of soup.
mix that you’d find in one packet of the store-bought stuff, so consider storing.
your homemade version in small zip-top bags or storage containers so that you.
can grab-and-go without having to measure the next time you need it.
BE SURE TO STORE IN AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER
To maintain the flavor of your dry soup mix, be sure to use an airtight.
If you multiply the yield in the recipe but keep it stored in individual.
servings, try to keep each in a sealed glass container. Or consider storing each.
serving in a snack-sized ziptop bag and then storing all of these smaller bags.
inside a larger airtight container for extra protection.
ONION POWDER
If you can’t find onion powder, but you do have minced dried onion, just put.
some minced dried onion in a small blender and grind it into a powder. For each.
teaspoon of onion powder, you’ll need about 1 tablespoon of minced dried onion.
GARLIC POWDER
If you have minced dried garlic, you can also grind it into a powder to use in.
place of garlic powder. You can also replace the garlic powder with more onion.
powder if you’d prefer to make this recipe without any garlic flavor.

BEEF BOUILLON
You can make onion soup mix without a flavor enhancer like beef bouillon.
granules, but it has much more robust flavor with the bouillon. HerbOx brand.
beef bouillon is gluten free. It comes in a box of little 4 gram packets, and is.
pretty readily available in grocery stores.
If you are having trouble finding gluten free beef bouillon, or just want an.
alternative that still provides a beefy-style umami flavor, try using about 2.
tablespoons gluten free miso powder, 2 tablespoons gluten free mushroom umami.
powder, or even 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon gluten free monosodium glutimate (MSG) to.
enhance the flavor of your mix.
CORNSTARCH
In place of cornstarch, you can use arrowroot, potato starch, or even tapioca.
starch. Tapioca will create a thicker mixture when wet, so it’s not my first.
choice, but it’s a small enough amount that it will still work just fine.
GLUTEN FREE ONION DIP
I love spinach dip, but my family also goes crazy for onion dip, which is even.
easier. Just combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and a batch of our gf onion soup.
mix. It’s all described in the recipe card below.

mayonnaise with dry unmixed onion soup mix on top with large wire whisk.

GLUTEN FREE ONION SOUP
In a rush? You can make a quick, simple gluten free onion soup using my mix.
Combine the powdered soup mix with 4 cups of cold water or broth in a medium.
saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce and simmer uncovered for.
15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Depending on your tastes, you might want to add other flavors, such as a.
teaspoon celery seed, a few shakes of parsley flakes, or some paprika.
HAMBURGERS
Add one serving of this mix in place of the seasonings in gluten free meatloaf.
it in your favorite hamburger mixture. One packet is enough to add flavor to 2.
pounds of ground beef made into burgers, with or without binders like gluten.
Either let the mixture sit until the minced dried onions soften, or hydrate the.
mix in 3 or 4 tablespoons of warm water before adding to the mixture.
FAQS
Why should I make my own gluten free dry soup mixes?
When I decide to make my own gf recipes, there are two primary motivators:.
We all know how hard it is to find gluten free foods on grocery store shelves,.
and we’ve all felt the disappointment of finding gluten in something you’d never.
think should contain it.
Is Lipton onion soup mix gluten free?
Right now, Lipton dry onion soup mix is not gluten free. It didn’t used to be.
that way, but the manufacturer changed its recipe to include a gluten containing.
yeast extract, and now this popular food item is not allowed in my gluten free.
How do I find gluten free onion powder?
Onions are gluten free, so pure onion powder is also gluten free. The same goes.
Where you may run into trouble is with manufacturers that use anti-caking agents.
in their onion powders to keep them from clumping.
To be sure you’re picking up a container of gluten free onion powder, look for a.
gluten free label or review the ingredients list to be sure there aren’t any.
gluten containing ingredients.
Do I need to add dehydrated onion flakes to my dry onion soup mix?
I’ve made this recipe with even more onion powder, but without minced dried.
onion flakes, and although it has a less authentic texture, the flavor is still.
there. I prefer to use the flakes, though, and I think you’ll find that they’re.
super useful to have in your pantry. Be sure your onion flakes are safe from.
gluten-containing ingredients, too, just like your onion powder.
How do I make gluten free onion soup mix if I only have onion flakes?
If you only have dehydrated onion in the pantry, don’t worry! You can still whip.
up my gluten free onion soup mix recipe.
Just pull out your food processor or blender, and grind your flakes into a.
powder, then measure out the right volume.
Just like the dry soup mix you buy at the store, this gluten free onion soup mix.
is shelf stable for several months.
To keep is fresh, simply store it in an airtight container in a dry, cool place.
like your pantry for up to 3 months.
