Tips:
For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth instead of water.
If you don't have shiitake mushrooms, you can substitute other types of mushrooms, such as button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms.
Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Other great options include broccoli florets, zucchini ribbons, bell peppers, or snow peas.
For a touch of protein, add tofu cubes or tempeh crumbles to the soup.
Serve the soup with a side of steamed brown rice for an extra hearty meal.
