4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

6 ounces fresh Shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps sliced

1/2 cup dry Sherry, plus additional for garnish

Simmer soup 15 minutes to blend flavors. Add Enoki mushrooms and stir until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with additional Sherry and garnish with epazote, oregano or chives.

As the recipe stands currently, it has a very very bland taste. I ended up adding more chicken stock (mainly because i had a ton of mushrooms, more sherry, a splash of vermouth, a bundle of thyme (tied so it can be taken out before serving and a bit too much pepper (but it gave the soup a pleasant bite to it, also i unfortunately add a bit too much salt so i recommend adding whatever extra salt you need at the end. I also substituted the enoki mushrooms for regular white button mushrooms since my grocer did not supply them.
