Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the bread into thirds and remove the crusts.
- Melt the oleo (butter) in a bowl.
- Mix the melted oleo with the Lipton onion soup powder.
- Dip each bread piece on both sides into the soup mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- Arrange the dipped bread slices on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, watching carefully until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or dried herbs to the soup mixture. You can substitute margarine for butter if dietary needs require it. To avoid soggy bread, ensure each piece is coated lightly and allow any excess mixture to drip off before baking. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bread too.
Serving Suggestions
These Lipton Soup Canapes make a delightful appetizer for parties and gatherings. Serve them alongside a fresh salad like 9-Day Old Slaw for a refreshing contrast. They also pair well with dips such as a creamy ranch or a zesty salsa. For a complete spread, consider including Barbecue Wieners for a fun, casual meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover canapes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them chewy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of bread?
Yes, feel free to use any type of bread you prefer, such as sourdough or whole grain. Just ensure it's sliced thinly to achieve the right texture. The flavor may vary slightly, but the canapes will still turn out delicious.
How can I make these canapes ahead of time?
You can prepare the bread and coat it with the soup mixture a few hours in advance. Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Bake them just before serving for the best texture and freshness.
Can I freeze these canapes?
While it's best to enjoy them fresh, you can freeze the coated bread pieces before baking. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
