I see MSG onion soup mix (I believe Osem) in store and I am wondering are they truly MSG free? Or does it still contain MSG just under another name?
I use onion soup mix in many of my recipes! Does anyone know of any which are not terrible for you?

Thx!

Whoops, meant to write I see containers labelled MSG FREE.

The Osem MSG-free ought to be MSG free, but it's still very high in sodium.

Use onion and garlic powder instead

It has yeast extract, which is very similar to msg.

There are recipes to make your own mix. Here's one:

But I can't say how good it is because I never tried it.

1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons minced onion
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container until ready to use.

I don't actually follow this recipe but when I really want onion soup mix specifically, I use these approximate spices in something like this ratio (I don't think I usually put in black pepper, and I almost always add garlic powder... but I don't do it exactly the same each time) and it works fine. Definitely pre-mixing with a recipe like this would save a lot of time.

Liebers makes soup mixes that are MSG free. I use them all the time.

I am extremely sensitive to MSG and have been using their diff flavor soup mixes for a long time. Definitely recommend Liebers, although I think Osem is really MSG free too(more expensive so never bought it)
