Dried mushrooms
12 large, black or shitake
Low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp(s)
Frozen baby peas
¾ cup(s)
Raw egg
2 large, lightly beaten

Sherry (dry or sweet)
1 tbsp(s), or vermouth
Uncooked scallions

Instructions
1
Combine broth and mushrooms in a medium saucepan. Set pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes.
2
Strain chicken broth and mushrooms through a paper-towel-lined sieve (or coffee filter), reserving liquid. Rinse mushrooms under water to remove any grit and slice into thin strips (remove tough stems if necessary).
3
Return strained liquid and sliced mushrooms to saucepan and set pan over high heat. Add soy sauce and sherry and bring mixture to a boil. Stir in peas. Gradually add eggs in a thin, slow stream, and stir gently with a wooden spoon for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and scallions.

Ladle soup into bowls and serve hot. Yields 1 1/2 cups per serving.
