Ingredients

• 4 cups Gluten-free chicken broth
• 1 whole Medium yellow onion
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Celery stalk
• 4 ounces Mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free crispy fried onions
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
• 2 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the yellow onion into thin strips. Peel and chop the carrot into small 1/4 inch cubes. Dice the celery stalk finely and slice the mushrooms thinly.

Step 2

In a large stockpot, combine the gluten-free chicken broth and water. Add the sliced onion, chopped carrot, diced celery, and sliced mushrooms to the pot.

Step 3

Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring it to a brisk boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the gluten-free soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, considering your preference for salt and pepper.

Step 6

Remove the pot from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove some of the vegetable solids to achieve a clearer broth if desired, or leave them in for a heartier soup.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of gluten-free crispy fried onions and freshly chopped chives to garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your homemade Gluten-Free Benihana Onion Soup!
