Does anyone have a recipe for onion soup mix (as the store bought ones that I have seen contain monosodium glutamate/a.k.a. MSG in them, which is supposed to be unhealthy).

Also, does anyone know of any kind of a recipe or seasoning blend, that would be LDL approved, that would have a nacho cheese flavor, like Dorito's have (Doritos also contain MSG unfortunately).

I have 2 different recipes I will give you.  It seems like the instant boullion I have seen has msg in it also.  I don't have any recipe for nacho cheese flavor.  Of coarse Dorito's are not allowed on LDL because they are very processed.

Onion Soup Mix (Like Liptons)
3/4 c instant minced onion
1/3 c Beef flavored instant boullion
4 tsp onion powder
1/4 celery seed, crushed
1/4 tsp stevia
Mix all together well.  
Five Tbs of mix equals 1.25 oz of purchased soup mix

Dry Onion Soup Mix
8 tsp dried onion flakes
1 1/2 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp tumeric, optional
1/2 tsp celery seed, crushed
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp pepper

Thanks so much Wendysgoodnews for your onion soup mix recipes.  I'm gonna give em a try.  Jerrie

The last recipe contains sugar. Substitute 1/8 teaspoon of Stevia or another sugar substitute that equals 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.

I figured I would use the 2nd recipe and just not use the sugar at all.
Don't really eat onion soup. Just used to use it to flavor other soups and dishes.
No sugar needed in what I use it for.

I always use a sugar substitute.  I use onion soup mix when making my meat loaf and it is delicious.

Thanks everyone for your good suggestions.  Jerrie
