Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pot, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and sauté for another 2 minutes to slightly caramelize it.

While the broth is heating, slice the mushrooms and chop the pickles into small pieces.
Add the mushrooms, pickles, pickle brine, black olives, bay leaves, and capers to the pot.
Season the soup with paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
