Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 scallions, chopped for garnish

  • Fried onions (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, combine the chicken broth and water. Add the sliced onion, carrot, and celery.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together.
  3. Strain the broth to remove the vegetables, leaving a clear soup. Return the broth to the pot.

  5. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped scallions and a sprinkle of fried onions if desired
