Description

This vibrant, creamy dip features a beautiful paprika swirl, perfect for elevating any snack spread on busy weeknights or for spontaneous gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

1 packet Knorr French Onion Soup Mix
16 oz sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped (plus extra for garnish, optional)
1 tsp sweet paprika (or smoked paprika)

Instructions

Combine Base: In a medium bowl, combine the Knorr French Onion Soup Mix with the sour cream base. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Fold in Chives: Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh chives, reserving a small pinch for garnish if desired. Do not overmix; keep the texture fluffy.
Swirl and Serve: Spoon the dip into your serving bowl. Sprinkle the sweet paprika over the top, then use a toothpick or small spoon handle to create a decorative swirl. (If the dip seems thin, ensure your sour cream was thick and well-chilled; a little extra Knorr mix can also thicken it.)
Chill Dip: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. This rest time is crucial for the best taste.

Notes

For super-speedy blending, use an electric hand mixer. Prepare the dip earlier in the day for improved flavor after a few hours of chilling. Avoid overmixing to maintain a thick texture, and ensure spices are fresh for best potency. Do not skip the crucial chill time for full flavor development.
