Onion Soup Almond Dip

 
Remember that awesome dip where you take a packet of powdered french onion soup and mix it into a giant tub of sour cream?
 
Delicious, right?
 
Really unhealthy, right?
 
Kind of makes you feel gross after you eat it, right?  Probably because you somehow downed half a tub of sour cream in mere minutes . . .
 
And so not vegan.
 
Introducing a really simple two-ingredient recipe for an onion soup dip you can feel good about eating! 
 
I found this Simply Organic French Onion Soup mix.  It’s vegan.  I blended it into some soaked almonds for a nutritious and wonderful dip! 
 
 
So I basically just told you the recipe, but here it is in normal-recipe form:
 
serves 8
1 C raw almonds
1 packet onion soup mix
 
Soak almonds in water overnight.  You can peel the almonds if you want to, but I kept them on.  No need for an extra step!  Blend onion soup mix into the almonds in a food processor or high-speed blender.
 
 
Serve alongside carrot sticks, celery, chips, pita wedges – whatever you want!  I had a piece of leftover garlic bread with mine.  Wow.  🙂

    How much water do you use? Do you drain the almonds or do they absorb all the water?

    To soak the almonds, I use enough water to cover them and then another inch more in a fairly wide bowl. Then I drain them, start blending, and add as much water as it takes to get the consistency I want, which can vary. It will take at least a couple tablespoons, maybe even a little more than a quarter cup.
