For a deeper, richer flavor, consider using dried shiitake mushrooms. Rehydrate them in warm water before slicing and add the soaking liquid to the soup for an extra layer of umami. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini or oyster mushrooms, to create your own unique flavor profile. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of soy sauce can brighten the flavors of the soup. This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together.

Add vegetable stock, thyme, and salt. Increase heat to high, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
