My family has sworn by this dip forever. People go nuts for it! The best part is, it takes only two minutes and requires just two ingredients to prepare: Lipton Onion Soup Mix and sour cream. This is one of the easiest dip recipes you will ever come across, and it’s always one of the biggest hits on the appetizer table at every single family party.
Whenever I’m a guest in someone else’s home or trying to brainstorm what to bring to a tailgating party or barbecue, I bring a bowl of this dip and some side snacks for serving. Typically, all that’s left afterward is a satisfied smile on everyone’s face who enjoyed it, along with a few friends asking for the recipe (which we love to share, if only to see the shock on peoples’ faces when they learn how easy it is to make).
The Easiest 2-Ingredient Onion Dip

People think this onion dip is an elaborate, secret family recipe, which has always cracked us up. Yet ironically, the humor surrounding it is the very thing that has made this creamy, savory, delicious onion dip become a family tradition in all of our kitchens.
You can prepare this two-ingredient onion dip up to two days ahead of time, and serve it with potato chips, pretzel sticks, or a vibrant crudité platter. It’s a total hit!
Note: you can also substitute the sour cream for cream cheese as this recipe suggests.
