Noodle soups and broths are a popular go-to for many when eating out or ordering in, so we’ve designed a recipe to satisfy your nutritious broth cravings whilst amping up the ‘fresh’ factor and keeping it quick-and-easy. This recipe is loaded with flavoursome ingredients but simple enough to whip up after a long day at work.

What nutrients are we talking about?

Shiitake mushrooms are known for their beneficial mineral content, promoting healthy skin and reducing inflammation. Enoki mushrooms are packed full of B-vitamins and important minerals such as iron and selenium. Oyster mushrooms also contain these beneficial minerals, along with protein and B vitamins niacin (B3) for heart health and riboflavin (B2) for energy production.

Ingredients

Broth:

• 1 cup water
• 1 x 400ml The Goods umami vegetable broth

Fresh garnish:

Method

• In a medium pot, bring broth to a simmer.
