JAPANESE ONION SOUP
The basic Japanese soup that's given out as an appetizer at most Japanese restaurants. Very mild, a bit salty, and a touch of tang. It's a very improvisable recipe; most of the ingredients' quantities can be changed according to taste. Use your favorite mushrooms in this recipe.

Steps:
- Combine chicken broth and water in a large saucepan over high heat.
- Slice the white onion in half, then coarsely chop one half (save the other half for later).
- Add coarsely chopped onion, carrot, celery and salt to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the onions start to become translucent. As the broth simmers, heat up 1 cup of vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Slice the remaining white onion into very thin slices. Separate the slices, dip the slices into the milk, then into the flour. Fry the breaded onions, a handful at a time in the oil until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.
- When the soup has simmered for 10 minutes, strain the vegetables out of the broth and toss them out. Pour the broth back into the pan and keep it hot over low heat.
- To serve soup, ladle about 1 cup of broth into a bowl.
- Drop a few pieces of fried onion into the soup, followed by 6 to 8 mushroom slices (about 1 mushroom each) and a couple pinches of diced green onion. When the fried onions sink to the bottom of the bowl (a couple of minutes), serve the soup.

JAPANESE STEAKHOUSE ONION SOUP

Steps:
- Place everything but the mushrooms and green onions into a slow cooker. I added in the bottom halves of the chopped green onions at this time as well and reserved the green upper halves for garnishing. Cover and cook on high for 2-4 hours or low for 4-5 hours. An hour before serving remove the cooked veggies from the crock pot with a slotted spoon Place the sliced mushrooms into the crock pot with the broth. Give it all a good stir. Cover to cook for another hour or until the mushrooms are tender. Divide amongst the bowls and serve!

- Use a variety of onions for a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of yellow, white, and red onions.
- Caramelize the onions slowly and patiently. This will bring out their sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Use a good quality beef or chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the soup.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. You can add herbs, spices, or even a little bit of citrus zest to taste.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
