Ingredients

Scale
  1. 32 oz bone broth | Provides the rich, savory base.
  2. 12 pinches garlic powder | Adds subtle flavor depth.
  3. 12 pinches ground ginger | Infuses warmth and aroma.
  4. 12 tsp sesame oil | For that signature nutty flavor.
  5. 1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake, button, or your favorite variety) | Brings earthy umami.
  6. 23 green onions, sliced thinly | A fresh, vibrant garnish.

Instructions

  • Heat the Broth: Pour the bone broth into a medium-sized pot and heat it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  • Season the Broth: Add garlic powder, ground ginger, and sesame oil to the broth. Stir well to blend the flavors.
  • Simmer with Mushrooms: Lower the heat and add the sliced mushrooms. Let the soup simmer for 5–7 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to soften and infuse the broth with their flavor.
  • Add Green Onions: Stir in the sliced green onions just before serving to keep their vibrant freshness.
  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy it hot.

Notes

  • Substitute vegetable broth to make this soup vegetarian-friendly.
  • Experiment with different mushroom varieties, like enoki or oyster mushrooms, for unique textures.
  • Add a drizzle of soy sauce or a touch of miso for a deeper flavor profile.
