How to Make Creamy Onion Dip

Gather three ingredients and make a 3 ingredient easy onion dip recipe with sour cream in just five minutes!

No hidden add-on’s here; what you see is what you get. This is a tried and true three ingredient recipe that works all the time, every time.

Ingredients

• Sour cream – the main body of this dip is soft, tangy sour cream
• Cream cheese – adds a thicker volume to the dip and ultra-creamy texture
• French onion soup mix – one packet will give you all the flavor you need, or make a DIY seasoning mix with dry pantry goods you probably already have on hand

Here’s the recipe for a simple homemade French onion soup mix. I will copy it into the printable recipe card below too.

DIY French Onion Soup Mix

• ¼ cup dried onion flakes
• 3 beef bullion cubes, grated to fill 1 tbsp
• ¼ tsp parsley flakes
• ¼ tsp celery salt
• ⅛ tsp paprika
• ⅛ tsp ground black pepper

Step-By-Step Directions

Follow these simple, fool-proof directions, and you can’t go wrong!

This recipe takes five minutes flat when using a pre-made packet of seasoning. So go ahead and set your timer! I thought it sounded too good to be true, but no. Five minutes is all you need.

It only costs you a minute or two more if you use homemade French onion soup seasoning blend. Either way, this dip is super quick!

Start by pulling out one medium mixing bowl (or two if you make the DIY seasoning), a spoon for mixing, and a pretty bowl to serve in.  

Then, get into the action.

1. Combine the sour cream and cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl.
2. Open the seasoning mix or make your own DIY version. Stir it into the mixing bowl and combine well. 
3. Serve immediately.

I pair this dip with fresh veggie sticks, but you can also serve it with crackers, potato chips, pita chips, or a loaf of French bread. If you need more ideas, check out these additional sides to serve with onion dip.

If you are hosting a party why not make a second dip that pairs well with all of these snacks? Try our Copycat Lawson’s Chip Dip Recipe for another easy option!

If there’s any leftover (I doubt there will be), spread either one on sandwiches or wraps the next day.
