Ingredients

1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan
1 tablespoon butter
2 medium onions, quartered lengthwise then very thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cube beef bouillon
1/2 cup water
Black pepper
1 teaspoon ground thyme, 1/3 palm full
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
2 cups sour cream
8 ounces cream cheese, softened in microwave for 20 seconds on high
Pinch salt, optional
2 tablespoons chopped chives, 5 to 6 blades

Chips:

2 sacks chips (recommended: Onion and Garlic flavor Terra brand Yukon gold chips or other specialty chips of choice)
2 large carrots, peeled then very thinly sliced on a heavy angle
1 very firm medium sized zucchini, very thinly sliced on a heavy angle

Directions

Place a medium skillet over medium to medium high heat and add the extra-virgin olive oil and the butter. Melt butter into oil then add onions and garlic cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add bouillon cube to the pan with 1/2 cup water and cook until it "melts" coats onions, stirring frequently, 3 minutes. Season the onions with pepper, thyme and Worcestershire sauce. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to quick-cool a bit.

In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream and softened creamed cheese using a rubber spatula. Stir in the onion mixture until completely combined, add salt if necessary and adjust your seasonings. Serve at room temperature or chill. Garnish with chives.

Pack up chips as-is. Season the veggie chips with salt and pack up with a paper towel to capture excess moisture in a plastic food bag. If serving at home, salt vegetables in single layer, let stand 5 minutes then pat dry. Arrange chips and vegetable chips around dip and serve.

Awesome Dip
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dip was great! It is so much better and lighter tasting than using the heavy, powdered mixes. The only change I would... make for myself next time is to replace the thyme with some cayenne pepper or something that I prefer over thyme. The thyme was a bit over-powering, but overall I loved the dip. I can't wait to make it again! Read more

Too much thyme
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Pretty good dip. Easy to make, but the taste of thyme was really over-powering.

Yum-O, DE-lish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Normally I'm not a big fan of Rachel's recipes, but this one is absolutely delicious! I made it for a family gathering and... now it's always specially requested! I use sweet onions (whichever I can find), sometimes going a little more than two. And, instead of 1/2 cup of water, I use 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup red wine (or sometimes a little more red wine and a little less water, depending on my mood). The red wine really enhances the flavor of the onions... I also use the light/low fat cream cheese and sour cream (in this dip, you can't tell because there's so much flavor from the onion mixture). My family and I just can't get enough of this! Way to go, Rach!!Read more
