Onion Soup Veggie Burger

Remember Lipton Onion Soup? It happens to be vegan! My mom used to add it to her burger and meatloaf recipes for a blast of flavor – we couldn’t get enough of them!

Here’s my version of the Lipton Onion Soup burger. Try it, or you could easily add a packet to your favorite veggie burger recipe.

Onion Soup Veggie Burger

Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 3/4 cups cooked and drained blackeyed peas, or 1 can, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (sub chopped sunflower seeds if you can't or don't want to use nuts)
  • 1 envelope dry onion soup mix (Lipton is vegan!)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp vegan worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp aquafaba OR a flax egg (1 tbsp. ground flax and 2 tbsp. water - stir together in a cup and let sit a few minutes)
  • 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 rolled oats (start with 1 1/4 c.)

Instructions

  1. Put all of the ingredients except for the rolled oats in the food processor and pulse a few times to break up the peas a little. If you don't have a food processor, mash the beans slightly and thoroughly combine the ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Add rolled oats until you've got a mixture that is moist enough to shape into patties, but not wet.
  3. Chill the mixture for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Form into patties and bake on a parchment lined sheet at 375 for about 25-30 minutes.

Easy Onion Bread

Onion bread just like my Mom used to make! She made her onion bread by adding Lipton Onion Soup mix (yes, it’s vegan!) to her regular bread recipe. I did the same with my Easy Yeast Bread recipe and it was a success! It smelled so good while baking that I could hardly wait for the loaf to cool before I cut it and spread a slice with some vegan butter – as delicious as I remember!
