Super simple and very nutritious, this Asian-inspired soup is the perfect goal for a foodie on the weekend. All of the Magic is in the broth. It has a depth of umami flavor from the mushrooms, brightened by the healing blend of herbs like ginger and garlic. Focus on the broth and everything else is easy peasy!
