Notes

For an even richer flavor, consider using a mixture of mushroom varieties such as shiitake and cremini. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the soup during the final simmering stage. Adjust seasoning according to your taste, and feel free to add a splash of lemon juice for a hint of brightness.
