JAPANESE CLEAR SOUP

The first time I tried traditional Japanese clear soup was also on the first date I had with my husband at a hibachi steakhouse.

I admit, when the waiter at the Japanese restaurant we’d chosen put the bowl of this simple soup in front of me, I wasn’t impressed.

JAPANESE CLEAR SOUP

Common at hibachi restaurants or teppanyaki establishments, this Japanese clear onion soup is usually served as a starter before the main course.

INGREDIENTS

Chicken broth  Onion  Carrots Ginger  Garlic  Mushrooms

You’ll start by sautéing the onion, carrots, ginger, and garlic in a large saucepan or stock pot. Once seared and beginning to caramelize, you’ll add the meat stock and simmer for an hour or so.

MAKING THE SOUP

Strain the solids to create a clear broth.

NEXT STEP

Spoon broth into serving bowls and top with sliced mushrooms and green onions. Serve this flavorful soup with soy sauce and sesame oil on the side.
