Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Soften the mushrooms and start the broth
In a medium sauce pot, combine the shiitake mushrooms and 4 cups [7 cups] water. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the onion, sweet potato, and your protein.
2
Start the rest of the soup
- Peel and coarsely chop the onion.
- Scrub or peel the sweet potato. Cut the potato into ½-inch pieces.
- Cut a small corner from your protein packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a medium [large] sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring to break up the protein into 1-inch chunks, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
If the pot is dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and sweet potato, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.
3
Prep the remaining ingredients
- Scrub or peel the carrot and trim the ends; cut the carrot into ½-inch pieces.
- Cut away any core from the cabbage; coarsely chop the cabbage.
- Remove the mushrooms, reserving 3 cups [5 cups] soaking liquid for the soup broth. Discard the stems and cut the mushroom caps in half; cut any large caps into quarters.
- Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves for garnish.
- In a small bowl or cup, mix the chicken broth concentrate with 1 cup [2 cups] warm water and stir to combine.
4
Finish the soup
To the pot with the onion and sweet potato, add your protein and any accumulated juices, carrot, cabbage, mushrooms, reserved mushroom soaking liquid, chicken broth, and black peppercorns and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until your protein is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the soup to individual bowls, garnish with the parsley, and serve. (Don’t eat the peppercorns!)
