Low Carb Faux Lipton Onion Soup Mix
« on: May 22, 2011, 01:49:44 PM »

1/4 cup Dehydrated Onion Flakes
1/3 cup Beef Bouillon Powder (without MSG)
4 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp crushed Celery Seed
1/4 tsp Xylitol or Erythritol

Crush the onion flakes in a baggie (leaving some larger bits) with celery seed using a meat tenderizing hammer.
Combine with all other ingredients and store in an airtight container.

Entire recipe makes about 1.25 cups of mix with 25 Net Carbs (@ 1.25 per TBSP)
About 5 tablespoons of mix (at @ 7.5 net carbs) are equal to a 1.25 ounce package of Lipton Onion Soup mix (at 17 net carbs).

To make onion dip:
Mix 5 tablespoons with one pint of sour cream. Makes 4 servings.
Carb count of dip depends on sour cream used.

Hi Umpa! :)

Your right!
The packets sold in stores are 4 net grams per TBSP or 28 per 3.5 oz. (7 TBSP) packet.
The store-bought version is much higher in sodium, too.

It's great in recipes like meatloaf and hamburgers.
Or add to coatings for fried fish, chicken, etc..
Anywhere the original would work, this version will work!... Enjoy! ;)
