Ingredients
- 1 packet (2 oz) of onion soup mix
- 1 (16 oz.) sour cream
- 1 tsp Beau Monde seasoning
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the packet of onion soup mix and the sour cream.
- Stir until the onion soup mix is thoroughly blended with the sour cream.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of Beau Monde. The Beau Monde serves as a unique flavor enhancer that compliments the onion flavor. I use it often in sour cream-based dips, like my dill dip.
- Stir all the ingredients together until the Beau Monde is evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- For best results, cover the dip and refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to fully blend.
- Serve chilled with plain potato chips, pita chips, or your favorite vegetables.
Enjoy this simple, yet flavorful homemade onion dip at your next gathering!
One Additional Tip You Should Try
Packaged onion soup mixes contain bits of dried onions. There are a lot of people, like my kids for example, who won’t eat something if they see onions in it.
Here’s a tip I learned from my mother, the onion hater extraordinaire. She always insisted on straining the soup mix into a separate bowl to remove the pesky pieces of onion before mixing it with the sour cream.
It doesn’t affect the taste one bit, but it certainly makes a world of difference in how it looks. And for most people, it’s all about perception.
So, the next time you find yourself creating this dip for a party or a cozy family gathering, take a page from my mother’s book. Strain that soup mix like a champ, bid farewell to those pesky onion bits, and watch as your dip transforms into a creamy, masterpiece that’ll have everyone asking for your secret recipe.
Commonly Asked Questions
How do I store any leftover dip?
Like any other sour cream-based dip, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last 3-5 days, but check it for freshness before serving.
Can I make this recipe vegan or dairy-free?
Sure, you can make it vegan or dairy-free! Substitute plant-based yogurt or vegan sour cream instead of regular sour cream. Then, add the onion soup mix and you should be good to go.
