Ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion (avoid red onion)
- 1 cup celery stalks ( you can also add more) chopped
- 2 carrots diced or cubed (can add more)
- 10 french beans (lesser if also fine)
- ½ cabbage diced
- 1 to 2 stalks celery leaves or coriander leaves
- 1½ cup mushrooms sliced (or ½ cup mixed veggies or broccoli )
- 8 florets cauliflower (optional)
Optional
- 1 tsp garlic chopped
- 1 tsp ginger chopped
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 stalk spring onion greens or scallions

Instructions
Preparation (make vegetable stock)
- Add all the veggies except mushrooms & spring onions to a large pot.
- Pour water just enough to immerse them. I used 2½ cups of water.
- Cover and simmer on a low flame until the veggies wilt off completely and turn flavorless.
- Place a strainer over a large pot and strain the veggies.
- If you intend to eat the veggies then skip this step. Mash the veggies well & leave in the strainer for 20 mins. You will get about half cup soup.
How to Make Clear Soup
- Heat the same pan with oil.
- Saute ginger and garlic for a minute.
- Then add the mushrooms and saute well until they begin to smell good.
- Pour the strained clear soup to this and simmer until the mushrooms are done to your liking.
- If desired add some salt to taste. You can also serve the veggies on the side if you desire.
To make Chicken Clear Soup
- Add 250 grams bone-in chicken along with veggies & 3 cups water to the pot.
- Cook until the chicken falls off the bone.
- Remove the chicken aside and then strain the clear soup.
- Shred the chicken and set aside.
- Heat oil and saute ginger garlic until aromatic.
- Saute the shredded chicken and pour the clear soup. You can also saute mushrooms first and then add chicken.
- Let the soup come to a boil to bring out the flavors of ginger and garlic.
- Add spring onion greens and season with salt.
