Onion Dip
This delicious sour cream and onion dip will bring back memories of carefully emptying a dried soup envelope into a tub of sour cream and gently trying to push the salty mass into the center so you can stir it without choking on instant soup dust. This recipe delivers richer, fresher flavor. Eat it with potato crisps.

Method
- In a small saucepan, sweat the onion gently with a pinch of salt and pepper until it becomes transparent.
