Dry soup packet mix??

Have just been scouring the slow cooker recipes thread and there is one there I want to try which calls for a packet of dry soup mix? Have never heard of it before - does it come in different flavours or could you just use something like french onion mix if I cant find it?

The recipe is for lamb shanks...

TIA :)

I think it means the packet of mixed beaney soup mix....I just grabbed mine out of the pantry its Natures selection "Soup Mix" Ideal soup starter..it has pearl barley, split beans,lentils and all that jazz. I find mine near the deli at safeway
Bec

I bought some last night at COles in the aisle with the indian and asian ingredients. It's with the split peas and lentils.
I had to just about get on my knees to find it though it was so low.

Yep dry soup mix is lentils & other bits n pieces.

I use french onion soup mix for everything..lol..oops
