Japanese Onion Soup image

The basic Japanese soup that's given out as an appetizer at most Japanese restaurants. Very mild, a bit salty, and a touch of tang. It's a very improvisable recipe; most of the ingredients' quantities can be changed according to taste. Use your favorite mushrooms in this recipe.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ stalk celery, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
½ carrot, chopped
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
¼ teaspoon minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons chicken stock
3 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1 cup chopped fresh shiitake mushrooms
2 quarts water
1 cup baby portobello mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or stockpot, combine the celery, onion, carrot, ginger, garlic, and a few of the mushrooms. Add chicken stock, beef bouillon, and water. Place the pot over high heat, and bring to a rolling boil. When the mixture reaches boiling, cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 45 minutes.
  • Place all of the remaining mushrooms into a separate pot. When the boiling mixture is done, place a strainer over the pot with the mushrooms in it. Strain the cooked soup into the pot with the mushrooms. Discard strained materials.
  • Serve the broth with mushrooms in small porcelain bowls, and sprinkle fresh chives over the top. Use Asian soup spoons for an elegant effect.
