1 tablespoon vegetable oil
10 button mushrooms, sliced thin
10 small oyster mushrooms, sliced thin
1 (3 ounce) package enoki mushrooms, roots removed
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped celery
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
¼ cup chopped carrot
3 cloves garlic, smashed
salt and pepper to taste
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (5 ounce) can chunk white chicken (such as Swanson®), drained
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms; cook and stir until lightly browned.
