Make a double-batch of this amazing Thai-inspired soup and stash some in the freezer in pint-size containers for homemade fast-food on busy days or a quick lunch. The broth gets a spicy kick from sambal oelek so adjust the amount to your taste. You can also leave it out and serve with the soup for guests to season their own. We recommend using a mix of exotic mushrooms such as shiitake and oyster, but feel free to swap in button mushrooms if that’s all you have. Serve this in a small cup as a starter or a larger bowl as a main course.
