1 lb sliced fresh mushrooms

6 cups chicken broth

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until the onion softens and becomes translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Fold in mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes.
