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?

This is the recipe I found:

2 1/2 tblspns dried minced onion

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.

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.

Those mixes always have lots of questionable ingredients but I don't
care. I know others here care though. It's not like I use Lipton Onion
Soup mix all the time. It's very rare that I do use it but it tastes
good and I don't care what they add to it.

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

Thanks, I do use msg in most things anyway <g>

This is the recipe I found:

· 6 split chicken breasts (bone-in)
· 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
· 1 can (20 oz.) pineapple chunks in natural juice, undrained
· 1/4 cup maraschino cherries, halved, optional
· 1 envelope Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Recipe Soup Mix

Set the oven broiler to high, usually 500° F.

Line a shallow baking pan with foil, leaving long ends to fold over and
encase the chicken later. Arrange the chicken breasts in the pan and brush
with the melted butter.

Broil the chicken for 10 minutes or until lightly browned on both sides.

Reduce oven temperature to 350° F (180° C/Gas 4).

In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients and then pour the mixture
over the chicken.

Bring the ends of the foil over the chicken and seal the edges with a double
fold, encasing the chicken completely.

Bake for 45 minutes or until chicken is done.
Make about 6 servings.

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

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.

I never buy those onion soup packets, I buy plain dehy toasted onion
and add my own seasonings... dehy bell pepper is also great in
meatloaf... rehydrate the pepper and onion for fifteen minutes in cold
water. Dehy veggies have more concentrated flavor than fresh... and
good to keep on had as they keep practically forever and you needn't
worry about fresh going bad.

Takes but a few seconds to use dehy toasted onions with your own
seasonings and leave out the crap.

That's fine. I don't care if people use it. I have tried it
plain, as soup, and it's not a flavor I want in my dishes.

But it's nothing like spice mixes, which should just contain
spices and not a chemistry lab of ingredients. Making your
own onion soup mix is Not just the same as the envelope and
just a waste of time. It's different. Whether it matters to
you or not, who cares.

You're the one who used the word 'bad' to describe the
ingredient list on the packet, not me.

nancy

I also don't worry about what's in a flavor packet....if it works and I like it,
great.

I always say I need all the preservatives I can get. Lol.

One of the favorite dips at parties is always the onion soup mix and sour
cream, old, very old recipe, but it's usually gone first at the parties.

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?
