Ever used it as soup?

Yes once. Couldn't get by the texture and taste of the freeze dried onions. I like it in meat loaf and sometimes to spike sauce up a bit. Just don't care for it straight up.

My wife uses it in a chicken-rice casserole..

My wife uses it in her meat loaf and I use it for roasts, that is the extent.

Works great in Burgers too.

HEB had bonels chuck roast on sale @$2.47 per pound. I got a 3 pound one this morning along with the soup mix.

It’s always a recipe ingredient for me.

Same....never used as a soup...

Soup, heck no. It can produce tremendous gas though. It's for dips.

Excellent on brisket in the oven.

We use it in various recipes but I can't tolerate it in soup form.

It makes a good seasoning package or a dip mix.

This. Put it on a pot roast and it will work. No soup for me

agree

Wife puts it on a lot of stuff

I use it with a bottle of French dressing and a jar of apricot preserves. Mix it up and baste chicken parts. Nice taste.

Agree, will use it as an ingredient to a main course but not as a course for a meal

Used it along with a can or two of cream of mushroom soup in a crockpot to cook a venison roast.

Dip mix

Uh huh! That's the way I do it and it turns out good every time.
