Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, combine 4 cups of beef broth and 4 cups of chicken broth over medium heat. Stir gently and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, avoiding a boil to maintain clarity. This process should take about 5 minutes.
  2. Once the broth reaches a simmer, add 1 chopped onion, 3 crushed garlic cloves, and 1 large sliced carrot. Stir the mixture well and let it simmer for approximately 10 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Next, stir in 1 thinly sliced mushroom and 1 cup of thinly sliced green onions. Allow the soup to continue simmering for another 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and pepper. Let the soup simmer for an additional minute after seasoning.
  5. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with additional sliced green onions or crispy Durkee onions on top.
