Ingredients

1 cup dried minced onion
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon paprika (regular, not smoked)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Gather 1 cup dried minced onion, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon parsley flakes, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 2 teaspoons dried minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper.
Add everything to a mixing bowl.
Whisk together until evenly combined.
Transfer to a clean, dry mason jar.
To make a simplified French Onion Soup broth, add 1 tablespoon of this dry mix to 4 cups of beef broth.* You can also combine 4 tablespoons of this mix with 16 ounces of sour cream for a creamy dip (which is the equivalent of Lipton packet.)
Taste, salt as needed (amount of salt depends on the broth you use.)

Notes

*I like to use Better Than Bouillon to save a little money and space, but it's very salty. I didn't need to add additional salt to my recipe for simple broth when using Better Than Bouillon’s beef flavor. I would taste as you go when it comes to adding any additional salt. (This mix is also a great way to add flavor to other dishes. Check the article for suggestions and proper storage.)
