I have this roasted garlic paprika blend I really love and use as a shortcut for a lot of dishes. It's got other spices too but it's just delicious. I think it is McCormick.
My next favorites are Johnny's seasoning salt, black pepper, garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, basil, Italian seasoning. All of these would go in a vegetable soup.
MSG is also nice in moderation. And cinnamon for sweet things of course.
I was house-sitting recently and my friend had club house roasted garlic and pepper blend. Shit was so good, I will definitely be picking some up for myself.
Cinnamon is the bomb in non-sweet foods too. A Chongqing hot pot has dried chili peppers (OH SO MANY!), Sichuan peppercorns (red and green), star anise, cassia cinnamon (as opposed to Ceylon cinnamon), bay leaves, Chinese black cardamom, Doubanjiang (a peppery bean paste), fermented black beans, garlic, ginger, scallions, onion, and coriander (cilantro).
If I haven't made people cringe with at least one of those ingredients, I've found someone with a very broad palate! 🤣

Yeah no cringing here, I'm drooling. When are you having me over for supper. You know your shit.
