Calories: 79kcal
Equipment
- 1 large stockpot or saucepan
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- ½ large onion, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup carrot, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup celery, roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fried onions
- ½ cup mushrooms, thinly sliced (button or shiitake)
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Begin the hibachi soup recipe by grabbing a large pot or large saucepan and placing it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
- Add coarsely ½ chopped onion, ¼ cup carrot, ¼ cup celery, 1 clove garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, 4 cups chicken broth, and 2 cups water. It is perfectly fine for the veggie to be cut in large chunks. Stir to combine.
- Allow the soup to boil, reduce the heat to low, and allow the soup to simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
- Carefully use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the vegetables out of the broth. You can discard the vegetables or save them for another meal.
- Spoon about a cup of clear broth into each bowl. Top with a few pieces of fried onion, mushroom slices, and freshly chopped green onions. Serve immediately while the soup is still warm. Enjoy!

Notes
- Feel free to use chicken, beef, veggie broth, or a combination of chicken and beef broth to create a rich and flavorful broth. Low-sodium broth can be used if needed.
- Don't skip garnishing the soup with crispy fried onion. You can use store-bought or fry thinly sliced onions until golden and crispy.
- Simmer the soup low and slow for at least 15 minutes, but up to 45 minutes is perfectly fine.
- Thinly slice button mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms to add a savory umami flavor. If you prefer to simmer some extra mushrooms in the broth, you can do that as well for additional flavor.
- Stain the soup using a fine-mesh strainer to remove the vegetables. If you notice any fat or particles floating around in the soup, simply skim them out using a large spoon. The soup should be simple and almost clear.
