💰 Nessa's Money-Saving Breakdown
One of the reasons I love making homemade pantry staples is because they can save a lot of money over buying packet after packet from the grocery store.
🏪 Store-Bought Version
Great Value Onion Recipe Soup & Dip Mix is approximately $0.98 per box, and each box contains 2 envelopes.
To purchase approximately the same amount I ended up making in this video would cost around:
16 boxes × $0.98 = $15.68
🛒 Estimated Store Cost
💰 Approximately $15.68
🏠 Homemade Version
Using pantry staples, I made approximately the same amount for about:
Ingredient Estimated Cost
2 cups Dried Onion Flakes $0.72
1½ cups Beef Bouillon Powder $4.50
4 Tbsp Onion Powder $0.80
4 Tbsp Garlic Powder $0.80
4 Tbsp Dried Parsley $0.60
4 tsp Paprika $0.16
2 tsp Black Pepper $0.12
🏠 Estimated Homemade Cost
💰 Approximately $7.70
🎉 Estimated Savings
🏪 Store Bought
Approximately $15.68
🏠 Homemade
Approximately $7.70
💵 Estimated Savings: About $7.98
Not bad for a few minutes of mixing!
🤣 A Little Kitchen Confession...
If you're wondering why I ended up with more than a quart jar of soup mix...
Well...
I accidentally doubled my Double Batch! 😂
So instead of making a Double Batch...
I actually made a 4X Batch!
Oops! 🤣
The good news is my pantry is stocked for quite a while now!
Sometimes those little kitchen surprises end up being happy accidents!
🍲 Homemade Beefy Onion Soup Mix
Ingredients (Double Batch Recipe)
1 cup dried onion flakes
¾ cup beef bouillon powder (12 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
No added salt. The beef bouillon already has plenty!
To Make Onion Soup
3–4 tablespoons Homemade Beefy Onion Soup Mix
