Do you love the flavors of French Onion Soup Dip? When I was growing up, my Mom would often throw cocktail parties. If you were doing in the late 70s, you were serving up French onion dip and chips. As an adult, I have often been known to serve this up at a party. Here is an updated version of the French onion dip.
This recipe has just three ingredients. What could be better than this? You will need ingredients that you already have in your pantry. For this recipe, you will need sour cream, cream cheese, and a can of French Onion soup, and you will have a party with just these three ingredients. You can serve this dip hot when I do I use a small portable crock pot. Crock-Pot SCCPLC240-PR-SHP Lunch Crock Food Warmer, 24-Ounce, Purple
is a handy size that you can take to work or use at parties. I like this size, it is small. So I often use mine to take some hot cheese dip or this dip to a party.
This French Onion Soup Dip tastes excellent whether it is hot or cold. I have eaten and served it both ways. If you like, you can add Parmesan cheese to this recipe for various purposes. When I add the Parmesan cheese, I want to serve the dip warm. Either way you serve this recipe, I know you will enjoy this dip.

Stephanie, I would love to try more recipes, but I would like to request nutritional information. I’m a type 1 diabetic, I can go off-menu at times, and just like to know how many grams of carbs, protein, fat, etc. so I can adjust my insulin pump to deliver the proper dose. Thanks.
