I always have to make the Lipton Soup Mix Onion Dip when my brother comes, because he likes it with potato chips. So we always have it around.
I don’t think I’ve ever used it for actual soup :-)
Lipton’s has all kinds of recipes for using their ‘Recipe Secrets’ products:

I found it at a Mennonite store in CNY named Sauders. I asked and they said they would sell me a whole tub full so I got it much cheaper that way.
Natural food stores may carry it, too.
It does look good, and pretty easy
That sounds delicious. I used to make my own refried beans but only used pinto.
Bkmk Asian salad
Great thread as usual! 2 years ago I made ina garten’s (barefoot contests) make ahead gravy base. It is amazingly delicious, easy, makes a lot & the red onion adds a very meaty flavor. When you finish roasting, I’ve made it with both roasted turkey & roasted chicken drippings, you just add the drippings into your ready made base & heat. It is foolproof & I always have extra which I decant into glass jars & freeze.
A thing I learned making it a 3rd time: instead of removing the onions I let them melt down into the base & the gravy was even richer & more delicious. This recipe is foolproof & on line.
Contessa, NOT contests
Wegmans sells a 96 oz. can of whole, pealed, San Marzano tomatoes for about $10. Add some garlic, red pepper, oregano, a little thyme, some sugar, black pepper, some salt, a cup of really good olive oil, like Mr Papou’s, two cans of tomato paste, and lots of basil, and you have a huge amount of really, really good tomato sauce.
This one?

Before he died, my Italian father-in-law made sauce from his own tomatoes every year - it was a huge family production, and everyone went home with a dozen or more big jars to last the year.
We don’t have that anymore, and I’ve been wanting to try one on the stove with canned tomatoes. Thanks!
Yes! Sorry, don’t know how to link.
* I only used one garlic clove. To me gravy should not be garlicky....just my opinion.
* I also use dried rubbed sage.
Thanks for posting ; )
I find that San Marzano pealed whole tomatoes are best, and it makes a big difference what brand you use. So far as I’ve found, Wegman’s brand 96 oz. San Marzano are the best (and cheapest) with the 96 oz. can from Cento being almost as good.
when I was young, I don’t remember that the canned, diced tomatoes were even available yet. We bought canned whole ones and squished them for recipes in our fists :-)
(And I think they were better than the chopped-up ones are now.)
It really depends on the recipe. For Vodka sauce, San Marzano tomatoes don’t really work for me, but the diced tomatoes are perfect.
You know a lot about tomato sauce!
I’m a beginner :-)
Thanks.
Oh yes indeed Lipton Soup Chip Dip is fabulous!
You have to like onion soup to use it as actual soup so I pass on that. But it’s a necessary staple in my cupboard.
Thanks for the link
Thanks; just ordered a small pkt.
Good luck with you selecting project.
The Lipton onion dip is soooooo good. Now I’ve got a craving.....
Heaven to me would be a French restaurant nearby that always has French onion soup on their menu.
