¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon kosher salt optional, see notes

Instructions

Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl.

Store in an airtight container.

Notes

As written, this recipe makes approximately 1/4 cup, which is how much you'll find in one packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix (2 oz/approx. 5 Tbsp).
I used "sodium free granulated beef bouillon" in my testing (Herb Ox brand). For this reason, I added salt. If you are using low sodium or full sodium granules, you will need to adjust/omit the additional salt.
If you don't have granulated bouillon, you can crush 2 beef bouillon cubes to use in their place.
Store mix in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
