homemade dry onion soup recipe

Onion Soup Mix

2/3 cup dried, minced onion
3 teaspoons parsley flakes
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon sucanat (or sugar if you prefer)
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Mix all ingredients in a jar, then give the jar a good shake.  I’d recommend shaking the jar to mix the ingredients well before each use.

Use 4 Tablespoons Onion Soup Mix in a recipe in place of 1 packet of onion soup mix.  

Heat olive oil in a skillet or large pot.  Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper.  Sear roast in olive oil browning each side.  Transfer roast to slow cooker.  Sprinkle spice mixture over roast.  Add 2 Cups water and both cans of beef broth.  Cook on low 8-10 hours.

Shred meat with a fork.  Cut rolls in half, butter them and place swiss cheese on top.  Stick them in the broiler for a few minutes to toast the bun and melt the cheese.  Serve with juices from cooker as au jus for dipping.
