Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups sour cream (light sour cream can be used)
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) dry onion soup mix
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (or 1 teaspoon dried chives)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped green onions or additional fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. Mix base ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a spoon or electric mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add seasoning: Stir in the dry onion soup mix, chopped parsley, chopped chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Chill the dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
  4. Serve and garnish: Before serving, stir the dip once more to ensure even consistency. Garnish with chopped green onions or additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve chilled with your choice of chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use light sour cream and reduced-fat cream cheese.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to taste, especially if your dry onion soup mix is already salty.
  • The dip can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored refrigerated for the best flavor.
  • Fresh herbs can be substituted or combined depending on your preference.
  • Perfect for parties, picnics, or as a tasty snack anytime.
