He probably said it in anticipation of the usual cr*p that is flung around here after someone admits using that kind of product. He uses it, he doesn't care - but he knows others will make negative comments anyway. Read the Knorr ingredient list and you tell me what they'd say. Ingredients: Ingredients: Salt, Monosodium Glutamate, Beef Fat, Sugar, Corn Starch, Dried Beef Meat, Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Yeast Extract, Natural Flavors (Contains Dairy), Caramel Color, Parsley, Onion Powder, Turmeric, Disodium Inosinate, Citric Acid, Disodium Guanylate, Spice. -- I love cooking with wine.

It's probably so good because it's salty. I tried another addictively salty treat at Costco the other day. It was a hunk of blue cheese on a Triscuit cracker. I don't normally go back for seconds, but I swooped back in when I got the chance. -- I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food. |

Looks like a package is 2 ounces by weight. Let's see: 28.3 * 2 = 56.6 grams. Cindy Hamilton ========== Thank you. Do you have a different package than the one Gary has?

You answered the question I asked, which was how much does a packet weigh, because the recipes says to use one packet of onion soup mix! -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

How much is how many servings and what size... only other ingredient as EVERYONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO COOK is beef stock. Choose your favorite canned or if you are capable of cooking prepare your own. The beauty of using toasted dehys is they are instant, no time peeling/caramelizing, and they taste much better and no oil. How much dehy onion, as much as one likes... the package lists the equivalant of fresh onion but I don't measure other than by eye. The real answer is that fat assed sf has no common sense or cooking sense... sf is senseless/inane. |

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. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/217155/dry-onion-soup-mix/ Jill |
