    Just Like Lipton's Onion Soup Mix (Gluten-free)

    There's been some confusion as to whether Lipton's Onion Soup mix contains gluten. Officially, Lipton's lists the ingredients as: Onions (deyhydrated), salt, cornstarch, onion powder, sugar, corn syrup, hydrolyzed soy protein, caramel color, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, monosodium glutamate, yeast extract, natural flavors (wheat), disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate.

    Also, some folks point out that the kosher version lists yeast extract from barley as an ingredient.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Others point out, as does the website for Unilver, which makes Lipton products, that Lipton Onion Soup mix is "made in a facility that also processes milk, eggs, soy, wheat, sesame and sulfites."

    To be on the safe side, I usually make my own mix and store it for later use. Here's a great recipe for a tasty gluten-free onion soup mix that tastes very much like Lipton's, and works great as a substitute in other recipes. It goes great in meatloaf, stew, and works well to make dip.

    Ingredients:
    1½ cups dried minced onion
    ¼ cup beef bouillon powder (gluten-free)
    2½ tablespoons onion powder
    ½ teaspoon crushed celery seed
    ½ teaspoon sugar

    Directions:
    Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container. About 5 tablespoons equals a single 1¼-ounce package of Lipton's mix.

    I see many questionable items in the Lipton's ingredients. MSG, caramel coloring, natural flavors - all can contain gluten. Lets face it, some of the other ingredients are not all that healthy for you, corn syrup to name one.

    It is not gluten-free as it has corn in it. All grains have a type of gluten in them and make me very ill. The definition of gluten is incorrect. That is a seed protection from being eaten.

    I haven't tried this yet, but I've been looking for a substitute since I have a few recipes that call for Lipton's Onion Soup Mix. The packages (both kosher and regular) say there is wheat in it, so I am very grateful that you posted this recipe.

    Most people with celiac disease do not react to corn. It's a different kind of gluten.

    Giant Eagle onion soup mix is gluten-free. Not quite as hearty as Lipton, but serves the purpose.... Also Herb OX bouillon is gluten-free.

    Thanks for the recipe. I actually have a family recipe for cranberry chicken that called for this. Ocean Spray whole cranberries are gluten-free in that to less than 20 parts per million cross contamination which is very minimal indeed. So you take the above homemade Lipton soup recipe, combine with one can of whole cranberries, one 8 oz. jar of french dressing, mix together and cover chicken in a baking pan. You can use a whole chicken cut up or if you're on a budget use legs and thighs equal to about a whole chicken. Cook at 350 degrees until chicken is cooked through about 3/4 hour to an hour for an equivalent of one whole chicken. half way through be sure to take it out and baste the chicken with the sauce.

    Mark it in your calendars: it is officially soup weather. I love to stock my freezer with fresh soups and enjoy them as the temperatures continue to drop. I recently tried a cauliflower soup made with sweet potatoes, yielding a lovely autumn-orange color, but any potatoes you have on hand will do.
    Ingredients:
    1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
    2 yellow potatoes, chopped
    2 leeks, white parts only, chopped
    4 cups chicken stock
    ¼ cup heavy cream
    ½ stick butter, divided
    1 teaspoon each salt and pepper, plus more to taste
    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350 F.
    In a baking sheet, toss cauliflower pieces, potatoes, 2 tablespoons melted butter, salt and pepper. Bake for up to an hour, until cauliflower and potatoes are easily-pierced. If necessary, t...

    You want decadence? Want to feel like you're sitting down to the first course of a very sumptuous dinner at the finest country manor house? This rich, velvety wild chanterelle mushroom soup will do the trick.
    This recipe is a bit involved, but don't be put off. If you can get wild chanterelles, have some time cook, and want an over-the-top mushroom soup, it is well worth the effort.
    Velouté Ingredients:
    6 cups chicken stock 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons potato flour Soup Ingredients:
    1½ pounds wild chanterelle mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed 1 leek, washed and minced 2 shallots, minced 3 cloves garlic, minced ½ teaspoon crushed red chili flakes 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 egg yolks ½ cup cream 1 shot añejo tequila ¼ teaspoon saffron Salt...
