Shitake Mushroom and Tofu Soup image

I just saw this recipe in my Sunset magazine and wanted to post it for safe keeping. I make a lot of soup in the winter time and I'm always looking for new recipes. This soup looks really good. I can't wait to try it. The recipe calls for chicken broth but if you want to make it a vegetarian soup you could easily use Vegetable broth instead.
