Soup, Lion's Mane (*LP)

Reviews

Used half lion's mane and half oyster mushrooms. It was good, but lacked expected mushroom flavor. More like chunky miso soup. Not worth the added expense of the specialty mushrooms, probably better flavor with button mushrooms. - jrs 1/31/2024

Ready from scratch in less than 20 minutes! This easy flavorful Lion's Mane Soup is the best when you want something warm and filling, but light in calories.

½	lb	lion's mane mushroom - cleaned and torn into small bite-sized pieces
2	cups	dashi stock - made from 2 cups HOT water + dashi powder or dashi granule packets. Use enough dashi powder to make 2 cups of stock, per the instructions on the packaging
3-4	Tbs	white miso paste - to taste, start with 3 tablespoons
1	cup	warm water
2	cloves	garlic - thinly sliced
1	tsp	grated ginger
2-3	cups	baby kale or baby spinach - see notes below if you want to use regular kale
3		scallions - thinly sliced at an angle
		red pepper flakes - for serving

1	In your medium soup pot, combine 2 cups of hot water with enough dashi powder to make 2 cups of dashi broth (use as much as the packaging recommends to make 2 cups). Mix well.
2	Bring to a simmer, and add the torn lion's mane mushroom pieces. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
3	In a separate container, combine 3 tablespoons miso paste with 1 cup warm water and whisk together so no miso clumps remain.
4	Add the miso water and the rest of the ingredients, except for the red pepper flakes. Continue to heat until the greens are wilted, but don't let the soup boil. Give it a taste and add a bit of water if it's too salty, or stir in more miso paste if it's not salted enough. Remove from heat and serve warm, garnishing with red pepper flakes.

Author Notes

To use regular kale instead of baby kale, chop it up and add the kale immediately with the dashi broth to let it cook through and soften for about 10 minutes total. That's why I prefer baby kale—no chopping needed and it's softer and wilts quickly, so I can just stir it in at the end.
