Yield makes about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
One 32-ounce carton low-sodium vegetable broth plus 2 cups water, or 6 cups water with 2 vegetable bouillon cubes
8 to 10 dried shiitake mushrooms
1 to 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan or small soup pot. Add the onion and garlic and sauté over medium heat until golden.
  • Add the broth, mushrooms, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and let stand another 15 minutes. Strain through a sieve, reserving the mushrooms. Trim them of their tough stems. Save the caps for another use, or slice them and return to the broth.
