Do you saute the mushrooms first?

Made it over the weekend - spectacular! So easy and delicious.

I made the mistake of adding too much of the water in and it was way too thin, more like a broccoli juice than soup, but luckily had another head to cook. It was great. Thanks for sending that.

For the winter I really like to make Potato Leek Bacon soup. It's very hardy and warming. It's not quite as fancy as some of things described, but it has good flavors and is great after a long day in the cold. I usually keep some in my fridge about 70% of the time in the winter.

Something I enjoyed is making a shiitake dashi and making nice thin slices of scallop. Garnish with a tiny bit of shaved ginger, pink salt (it looks cool) and very finely chopped chive. Present solids in bowl, pour in dashi.

I actually prefer the shiitake dashi for this purpose than kelp.

Shiitake dashi is great - I've made it for a soup with poached fish.

BTW, the sliced scallops with the kombu dashi went over well and was perfect for the feasting that was to come.

I've done it with kombu as well. I just think the earthiness of shiitake works especially well for white fish and some shell fish.
