I mean, have you tried onion soup brisket? Or how about a super easy Philly cheesesteak with all the fixins?

Trust me; if you like savory dishes with an extra dose of onion flavor, these recipes are for you. 

And since these 30 onion soup recipes go way beyond a simple bowl of broth, you’ll have dinner for the whole month!

1. Lipton Onion Soup Burger

Let’s get the show on the road with a recipe from my very own vault.

If you’re having friends over for a BBQ, these burgers will definitely be a hit.

I believe that grilling is the easiest part of cooking burgers. It’s seasoning the patties that’s a little bit challenging.

Think about it – it’s not like you can taste raw meat to check for flavor, right? 

But, in this recipe, the onion soup mix will take care of everything.

2. Potato Bake with French Onion Soup

Looking for a creamy, savory, and hearty side dish to pair with your entree? This potato bake fits the bill to a tee.

You can’t go wrong with potatoes, right? Any dish with spuds as its main attraction is always a winner.

And with just four staple ingredients – potatoes, cream, cheddar cheese, and French onion soup mix – this bake is both super tasty and budget-friendly.

How’s that for a win-win?

3. Baked Chicken with French Onion Soup Mix

This baked chicken is your solution to busy weeknights. It’s a simple 4-ingredient, 1-pan recipe that yields such a show-stopping meal! 

Between the baked chicken and French onion soup with a crunchy green bean topping, this is a sure-fire crowd-pleaser.

Pair this rich and savory dish with white rice for a satisfying meal.

4. French Dips

While today’s key ingredient is onion soup mix, the red wine makes this dish sensational.

Seriously, red wine is such a fantastic ingredient, especially when making French dips.

Its nuanced flavor gives these meaty sandwiches an impeccable taste.

You don’t even have to use expensive red wine here. Any kind will do.

As long as you like its taste, it’ll work!

5. French Onion Meatball Sub Sandwiches

Here’s another sandwich that gives you an explosion of flavors.

Marinara-bathed meatballs tucked inside a crusty baguette? You can’t go wrong with that.

While classic meatball subs never disappoint, these ones with that creamy French onion sauce are totally extraordinary.

Why dunk the sandwich in soup when you can put the soup in the sandwich, amirite?

6. Lipton Onion Soup Meatloaf

Make your meatloaf extra moist and tasty with just a packet of French onion soup!

Yep, that’s all it takes. 

Apart from the powder mix, this meatloaf is also infused with ketchup. Together, they give the dish a beautiful blend of sweet and savory flavors.

7. Stick of Butter Rice 

The name of this dish alone intrigued me enough to try it out. And boy, did it blow my mind!

I mean, it’s a stick of butter and rice. You don’t need to be a culinary expert to know that’s insanely good.

But as I’m sure you’ve guessed, that’s not all. This rice dish is also flavored with a can of French onion soup.

Sure, it’s not healthy. But life is short – live it!

8. Beef Brisket with Onion Soup Mix

Craving hearty beef brisket and creamy onion soup? No need to pick just one – have both!

This brisket-soup hybrid is happiness in a bowl, complete with fatty melt-in-your-mouth beef, fluffy potatoes, and a sweet and savory broth.

Just be careful when you serve the plate – your family will pounce the second they get that first whiff!

9. Busy Day Soup

As the name suggests, this quick and easy soup is just what you need when you don’t have the time or energy to make an elaborate meal.

Sure, it takes over an hour to finish, but your participation won’t exceed 10 minutes. 

Despite the embarrassingly easy recipe, this soup delivers in the flavor, texture, and nutrition departments.

Complete with elbow macaroni, ground beef, veggies, and a rich onion soup broth, this is a whole meal in a bowl.

10. 3-Ingredient Easy Onion Dip

Made with just sour cream, mayo, and a packet of onion soup mix, this dip is as delicious as it is easy to make.

Rich and creamy with a sweet onion flavor, all that’s missing are the buttery crackers.

11. Hot Turkey Sandwiches

Give those dried-up turkey leftovers a major makeover!

These hot turkey sandwiches are so tasty that no one will notice they’re made from yesterday’s dinner.

The turkey is slow-cooked in beer, butter, onion soup mix, spices, and seasonings for several hours. Yum!

No wonder it’s extremely tender and bursting with flavor!

It’s such an easy recipe, to boot. Don’t you just love dishes that require minimal effort but yield maximum flavor?

I know I do!

16. Skillet Shepherd’s Pie

In the mood for British food? I found just the recipe to try.

With its savory ground beef filling and hearty mashed potato topping, it’s no wonder this is such a beloved dinner.

Admittedly, this recipe has a pretty long list of ingredients and steps.

So, if you don’t have the time, I suggest you save it for when you have leftover mashed potatoes.

That way, all you’ll need to worry about is the ground beef filling.

18. White Pizza Dip

Made with a mix of ricotta, sour cream, pepperoni, and mozzarella, this dip tastes just like white pizza.

A packet of onion soup is mixed in as well for added flavor.

Rub some dry onion soup mix all over the meat, slow cook it for several hours, and then smother it with gravy.

Just like that, your lunch or dinner entree is ready.

Chicken and apricots may seem like an odd combo. But man, do they taste superb together.

The combination of sweet apricot jam, tart, spicy Russian dressing, and savory onion soup mix creates a luscious sauce you’ll want to swim in.
