Many French Onion dips are made out of powdered French Onion soup mix. The thing is, real French Onion dip is just as easy to make with onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Basically you make a pan French Onion soup and let most of the liquids evaporate and then incorporate the results into some sour cream. I came up with this recipe after having some sour cream left from the icing I was making for my pumpkin cheese cake.
1 cup sour cream
2 small yellow onions
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup beef broth
salt and pepper to taste
Chop onion into half moons. Add olive oil to pan and put over medium low heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté for a bit and then cover with lid to sweat. Once onions are translucent add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste and boil down the liquids until there is very little left. Let mixture cool down a bit and then add to sour cream, mixing thoroughly. Add more salt as needed. Refrigerate for at least an hour and then serve with potato chips. So much better than the mix stuff and just a tiny bit more work.
