- 1 medium Carrot
- 100 grams Shiitake mushrooms
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 1 liter Vegetable broth
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 piece Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Start by preparing your vegetables: rinse the bean sprouts under cold water and let them drain. Peel and julienne the carrot. Thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves and finely grate the ginger.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Next, pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, add the julienned carrot and bean sprouts to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes.
Thinly slice the green onions and chop the cilantro leaves while the soup is simmering.
After 10 minutes, season the soup with salt and black pepper. Add more to taste if necessary.
Squeeze the juice of one lime into the soup and give it a good stir.
Turn off the heat and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the soup hot, optionally with a lime wedge on the side for extra tang.
