Australian mum swears by 45c Woolworths essentials French onion soup packet mix as seasoning

An Australian mum has shared her 45c ‘secret weapon’ to elevate any dish and make sure her kids eat it, but foodies are furious the secret’s out.

Mom uses Woolworths Essential French Onion Soup Packet Mix as a seasoning to make roasted vegetables and chicken thighs taste ‘amazing’.

It turns out that the condiment trick was a cult secret, and so popular with those in the know that it’s now “impossible” to pull off. people are buying ten packs at a time.

Fans of the trick believe it can be used in “almost every dish,” but say it works particularly well with meat.

‘Stock up while you can,’ warned one woman.

‘I’m not sure if everyone is aware or knows about this. But I have been putting this on my chicken and vegetables for my family,” the mom said when she shared the hack.

She explained that her four-year-old only had one chicken thigh for dinner, so she tried the seasoning to encourage him to eat his vegetables.

“My four-year-old son told me ‘mommy this is delicious’, now he eats all his dinner and asks for more.”

She said the flavor is fantastic but ‘hard to describe’ as it doesn’t have a strong onion flavor.

The package is made with 33% dehydrated onion, as well as cornmeal, salt, sugar, potato starch, aromas and colourings. It is designed to be washed down with boiling water to create enough soup for four people.

Foodies immediately took to the post to warn the mom to keep the trick down.

‘Shhhh, don’t tell everyone, my local stores are always out because it’s so popular,’ said one woman.

‘Quickly delete this post so no one else sees it. It’s already so hard to find,” another commented.

I haven’t seen him in a week. People are stocking it when he hits the shelves,” wrote another.

Several admitted they “gave in and bought 10 packets,” while one woman even said she planned to “buy a popsicle” of the soup mix the next time she’s in the store.

Hundreds have also shared their favorite ways to use the seasoning packet, and the combinations seem endless.

‘It was my grandmother’s secret ingredient. I used it in dumplings, salty ground beef…so good! a woman remembered.

Many people say they like to bake meat like chops and roasts in the oven after coating them with the batter.

Others add it to creamy pasta sauces, baked pasta, and Bolognese to add “something extra.”

Many people like to use the seasoning mix to even out vegetables and roast potatoes.

Others mix it with sour cream or yogurt to make an easy dip.
