Onion Soup Mix
1/4 Cup dried minced onion
2 TBS instant beef bullion (or chicken bullion)
{I used one package of "chicken" bouillon" and found that to be flavorful enough. Again, you need to sub MSG-free bullion here for the recipe to be "clean."}
1/2 tsp onion powder
Here's what it looks like combined into sour cream for dip -you'll notice it's not as dark as the normal OSM:
Word of warning: I didn't realize there was a difference between "instant" and "regular" bouillon cubes until I tried to chisel mine apart. Apparently I bought the kind that only dissolves in water! So I popped it in the food processor and blended it until it was ground.
I have to say, both Chris and I agreed that this tastes just like the real thing! Took all of 5 minutes - definitely worth my time to eat something made completely of spices.
If you try it yourself, let me know how it turns out for you! If you don't have a health food store near you, I found an online company that sells MSG-free bouillon cubes. (I've never ordered from them so I can't vouch for their security - just wanted to offer that information!)
If you've found any other great "clean" links I'd love to see them!
Happy eating! :)

I have the Eat Clean Diet and cookbook and have bought the Clean Eating mags too but don't follow this all the time... wish I did though. This is an interesting recipe, but I don't use OSM all that often either.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great alternative to the junk that I admit I do use sometimes. :) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!! This will come in VERY, VERY handy! I am very, VERY opposed to MSG and it is in EVERY short cut I have ever been taught!
