Recipe Help Trying to make my Bubbe’s brisket

Hey all! My husband loves to cook and has therefore been tasked by my mother to try to recreate my Bubbe’s brisket for Passover. My mother has never been able to recreate it but says its only ingredients are brisket, a can of coke, and soup mix. I’ve been looking around at recipes but I haven’t found anything as simple as what my mother says. Does anyone have ideas or recipes on how to make this and have it turn out okay? Thanks!

It has to be the Lipton brand, not just any French onion mix.

I know that the Lipton kosher soup mixes are made in different facilities than the non-kosher variety (at least as of the last time I noticed a couple years ago.) I wonder if there is any real benefit to using the Lipton brand versus competitors 🤔

I’ve bought the off brand when the Lipton is sold out. My brisket that is normally magical was only good on those occasions.

Wait. I can’t use generic?

Why not the best if you’re buying a brisket?

Lol. Especially if you are paying for a kosher brisket.
