We’ve updated classic onion dip by swapping the pack of dehydrated Lipton soup mix for real caramelized onions and goat cheese—but the sweet, salty, tangy flavors that you remember are all there. Reminisce with a bag of potato chips.
Game plan: The dip can be made up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated in a covered container; stir briefly before serving.

Ingredients (6)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, medium dice (about 2 cups)

- 4 ounces fresh chèvre (goat cheese)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium-low heat. When it shimmers, add onion and garlic, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are caramelized and brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
