This recipe comes from my book, A Good Food Day. It’s an intensely flavored yet light soup which comes together in as little as 25 minutes! That’s the miracle of Brodo – we do all the tedious work for you and you can have dinner put together in a snap. 

The medical community and laypeople in Asia have been using mushrooms as medicine for centuries. The West has recently seen them entering wellness culture (as well as pop culture), yet we’re still playing catch-up when it comes to fully utilizing fungi’s benefits. This soup contains shiitake mushrooms which are incredibly delicious and also provide a myriad of health benefits, including cancer prevention. At Brodo, we’re on board with the philosophy of using food as thy medicine!

One of my biggest passions is to encourage people to tweak recipes to their own needs and what they have on hand. Feel free to make this a vegetarian soup by using our Organic Mushroom Brodo and swap the chicken for more mushrooms and/or tofu. Or, experiment however you’d like!

  1. In a large pot, bring the Brodo to a boil over high heat. In a small bowl, combine the chicken and ginger and mix well.

  2. When the Brodo reaches a boil, bring the heat down to medium. Add the ginger-marinated chicken and give it a stir. Add the shiitakes, rice, nori, tamari, and lemon juice and stir.

  3. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the scallions, ladle into bowls and serve.
