How to Make Cream Cheese Onion Dip

This dip is unbelievably easy. Everything goes into the blender for a quick whirl, then it chills until the flavors settle in and it thickens. For full recipe details, including ingredients and measurements needed, see the probable recipe card down below.

Step 1: Prep the onions

Chop the sweet onion and red onion into rough chunks.

Step 2: Blend everything

Add onions, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and vegetable bouillon base to a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 3: Chill

Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.

Tips for Success

• Let the dip chill long enough to firm up. It starts out loose right after blending, so the chill time helps it thicken and settle into the right texture.
• Use room temperature cream cheese so it blends easily.
• Taste before serving and add a tiny bit more bouillon base if you want deeper flavor.
