Knorr Brown Onion Soup, more than just soup

A quick, savoury onion soup

Knorr Brown Onion Soup mixes into a warm, savoury onion soup in minutes, but South African cooks know its real power is as a flavour base. The rich, oniony blend dissolves into a dish to deepen flavour and thicken a sauce at the same time.

The secret flavour base for stews and gravies

Stir a little into beef stew, oxtail, potjie (the South African pot stew cooked over coals), savoury mince or a pan gravy. It adds instant body and a savoury, slow cooked taste, which is why so many family recipes quietly include a packet.

A clever South African kitchen staple

Knorr is a trusted everyday brand in South African kitchens. We ship it across Canada so this handy cooking shortcut is always in your cupboard.

Frequently asked questions

Is Knorr Brown Onion just for soup?

No. It makes a quick onion soup, but South African cooks mostly use it as a flavour base, stirring it into stews, gravies, potjie and savoury mince for instant depth and to thicken the sauce.

How do I use it in cooking?

Stir a spoonful of the dry soup into your stew, gravy or mince as it simmers. It dissolves in, adding savoury flavour and helping to thicken the liquid.

What is potjie?

Potjie is a traditional South African stew cooked slowly in a cast iron pot over coals. Brown onion soup is a popular flavour booster for it.
