1. I bet that would work....there are several different onion soup flavors...some more subtle than others. Onion soup mix is versatile enough I bet it would work. Onion soup mix EDIT: Reconstitute the dry soup mix with your liquid..whatever that is. Then add to the stuffing. I use this onion soup mix a lot and if this is the taste you are searching for, then try it out. It would basically serve as your seasoning.....
2. Would you mince and toast your onions first? Either that or cook minced onion in some butter or ghee and add to your stuffing.
3. My mother would cut up one medium onion, with three or four stalks of fresh celery with the leaves. She would cook it in a saucepan with one can of chicken broth. Don't over cook it, just til tender, with no lid. Then, add this to your stuffing. Onion dry soup mix would ruin your stuffing.
4. um im not really sure what its called, but its like minced onion, you can buy it in the dried seasonings. it'll work wonders :]
5. Chives, a bit of green onion.
