Begin by slicing the yellow onion into thin strips. Peel and chop the carrot into small 1/4 inch cubes. Dice the celery stalk finely and slice the mushrooms thinly.
In a large stockpot, combine the gluten-free chicken broth and water. Add the sliced onion, chopped carrot, diced celery, and sliced mushrooms to the pot.
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring it to a brisk boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
Stir in the gluten-free soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, considering your preference for salt and pepper.
Remove the pot from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove some of the vegetable solids to achieve a clearer broth if desired, or leave them in for a heartier soup.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of gluten-free crispy fried onions and freshly chopped chives to garnish.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your homemade Gluten-Free Benihana Onion Soup!
