Shiitake and Kale Soup

Ingredients:

3.5 oz. shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced (1 cup)

10 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced

¼ cup brown rice vinegar

5 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

1 bunch kale (10 oz.), stemmed and coarsely chopped

Instructions:

1.  Heat saucepan over medium heat.  Add mushrooms, season with sea salt if desired. Sauté in little water until mushrooms begin to brown.  Add garlic, and sauté for 2 minutes more.  Stir in vinegar, and simmer until almost evaporated, stirring to scrape up browned bits from pan.

2.  Add vegetable broth.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 20 minutes.

3.  Add kale, and cook for 10 minutes more or until kale is tender.  Season with salt and pepper if desired.
