Easy 30-Minute Mushroom Vegetable Soup

It’s adapted from Tomato, Beans, and Greens Soup and Weight Loss Vegetable Soup. It’s healthy, accidentally vegan, and gluten-free. It has an Asian vegetable soup vibe from the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and shitake mushrooms.
I used 4 ounces shitake and 8 ounces baby portobello. I don’t keep super fancy or exotic mushrooms on hand but if you’re a fungi connoisseur add your favorites. I recommend fresh rather than dried varieties.
The ingredients are very flexible. Try green onions at the end rather than sweet Vidalia in the beginning, add sugar snap peas rather than broccoli, use carrots rather than zucchini. Clean out your produce drawer.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium sweet Vidalia or yellow onion, peeled and diced small
• 3 garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced
• 8 cups (64 ounces) reduced sodium vegetable broth
• about 12 ounces trimmed and thinly sliced fresh mushrooms (I used 4 ounces shitake and 8 ounces baby portobello)
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium/large zucchini, diced into bite-sized pieces
• 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
• 2 or 3 bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, optional (brightens up the flavor)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, optional (brightens up the flavor)
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, optional and to taste (balances the acidity from the vinegars)

DIRECTIONS:

1. To a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the oil, onion, and sauté over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, or until onion begins to soften; stir intermittently.
2. Add the garlic, stir to combine, and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
3. Add the broth, mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, soy sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, bay leaves, bring to a boil, and allow it to boil for about 10 to 15 minutes or until mushrooms and vegetables have softened.
