One of my favorite things is chips and dip. SO much.
I really love Lipton's Onion Soup mix... so in one of my favorite cook books, I was pleased to find, not only a way to make your own onion soup mix, on the super cheap, but also a smidge healthier. Because its... dundundun... LOW SODIUM!
You heard it here.
Amazing. I love this cookbook, and I urge you to check it out!
The best part of this recipe, other than its supreme yummy factor, is that if you stock up on all the ingredients in bulk, you can
a. make it in bulk to have and to hold for future uses
b. make it super cheap
I love Costco.
Nonetheless. This is a great way to make your own seasoning and save money.
Low Sodium Onion Soup Mix
from 500 Low Sodium Recipes: Lose the Salt not the Flavor by Dick Logue 1 tablespoon minced onion
1 teaspoon sodium-free beef bouillon
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
Makes one recipe of Onion Soup Mix: about 1.5 tablespoons
Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight jar or bag. To make a dip, combine with 16 oz of sour cream.
Lessons learned in this post:
1. Low sodium is good... though I'm certain the salty chips make up for the sodium saved in the dip. Still good.
2. Don't be afraid to fall in love... with chips and dip, with cookbooks, with Costco, with your significant other. Use your imagination.
Stay tuned for my Giveaway... $35 to CSN... coming next week!
