Beth:
Here's the onion souo I make. When I buy beef bouillon in bulk from the natural foods section, I use 1 cup of bouillon. Make sure you keep this in an airtight container.

Lipton Onion Soup Mix
Yield: 8 Servings

7 oz Beef bouillon; granules
1/4 cup Instant tea powder
1/2 tsp Pepper
1 cup Dry minced onion
1/4 cup Onion powder
1/4 cup Parsley flakes
1/8 cup Onion salt; 7 ts

Combine in order listed. Keep the mixture in jar at room temperature.

Makes 2 cups. 1/4 cup mix equals 1 envelope commercial soup mix

TO USE: 1/4 cup mix to 4 cups boiling water. Stir well until soup is dissolved.
